Surgery

Surgery is performed at DMC Surgery Hospital, a small specialty hospital focusing on orthopaedic care. Patients are cared for by orthopaedic-certified nursing and staff throughout their stay. The small personalized environment helps ease the stress of undergoing surgery.

Recovery

Physical therapy is a very important part of recovery. Rehabilitation therapists work with patients before they leave for home. Once discharged, home therapy may be arranged. Our doctors also work with the Rehabilitation Institute of Michigan's 30 outpatient locations to plan a convenient and customized recovery plan to get patients back to an active life as soon as possible.
