Deductible met? Schedule your procedure or surgery now!
As we approach the end of the deductible year, schedules tend to fill up quickly, and we want to make sure you can secure the appointment that fits your schedule and medical needs.
Waiting until the last minute might result in limited availability and longer wait times.
Before you dig into that delicious bird, keep these carving tips in mind so the only thing you’re serving up is smiles (and seconds 😉):
• Use a sharp knife—it’s actually safer than a dull one.
• Keep your cutting area dry and steady.
• Always carve away from yourself.
• Let the turkey rest before slicing.
Carve smart, stay safe, and enjoy every bite of your holiday feast!
And as always, if something goes awry, we’re here to help—just give us a call!

If you are suffering from an orthopedic condition or injury, schedule now and get back to your healthy, active lifestyle sooner!
According to our joint replacement experts, you may be ready for a joint replacement if you’re experiencing the following:
• You have joint pain that keeps you awake at night
• The pain in your joint prevents you from participating in your favorite recreational activities
• You have stiffness in your joint that limits your ability to move or lift your leg
• You have attempted conservative methods (i.e., exercise and/or drug therapy) without success
Recommendations for joint replacement surgery depend on your individual needs and goals. To find out if you are ready for joint replacement surgery, request an appointment with one of our highly trained joint replacement surgeons!

Patient Approved! 🙌 | “Dr. Lou and her staff are absolutely terrific. Dr. Lou always displays excellent bedside manners, asks for feedback, and manages to crush 90 to 100% of my pain. She’s a wonderful physician. Her staff is always pleasant and helpful, and they aren’t afraid to joke around with me to relieve some of my nervousness. I feel very fortunate to be one of their patients.” –Matt S
