While Elective Surgeries Are Postponed, We Remain Available to Our Patients
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the American College of Surgeons recommend that doctors postpone elective surgeries due to COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) and we are following that guidance strictly. The concern is not that a knee replacement or hip replacement would be more likely to result in complications at this time, but rather that we need to keep hospital resources and medical equipment available for those with the greatest need.
