Total knee or total hip replacement surgery may vastly improve your quality of life !
Total joint replacement is available at Princeton Community Hospital ’ s Orthopedic Center , where we offer a comprehensive joint replacement program structured around the fundamental principle of wellness .
Princeton Community Hospital , now an affiliate of WVU Medicine , was the first hospital in West Virginia to obtain Hip and Knee Replacement Certification from DNV GL , an internationally acclaimed certification organization .
What are recent total joint replacement patients saying about their experience at PCH ’ s Orthopedic Center ?
• I ’ ve been climbing ladders and working like someone 20 years younger . I knew my knees had slowed me down , but I didn ’ t realize how much until after I had them replaced .
• I felt well cared for by skilled , concerned , helpful people . I ’ m grateful to have access to top level medical care right here at home .
• Before having both my knees replaced , I didn ’ t realize how my limited mobility due to pain had restricted my activity . I feel like a young man again .
• Before this surgery , I could barely walk 20 feet without stopping to rest due to the pain . Yesterday , I walked three miles with my wife , and she had to stop more than I did ! I could have kept on going for another mile or so .
• Princeton Community Hospital is one of the best hospitals I ’ ve ever been in . My care was fabulous . Kudos to the orthopedic staff and surgery department .
