Yes, it’s important to know who your surgeon is, but it also helps to know where your procedure will be done. Hospitals vary widely in cost, comfort, outcomes and special services. Some hospitals that do a high volume of joint replacement surgeries have invested in very expensive equipment in their operating rooms specifically designed for joint replacement surgery – specialized tables, venting and air exchange systems that lower the chance of infection and specialized imaging systems. Be sure to ask: What is the patient satisfaction rate at the hospital you’ll be going to? And on average how long will you be there after your procedure?
