Why Choose Sutter?

Learning you need a joint replacement can be overwhelming, but you’re in safe hands. Our orthopedic surgeons perform thousands of joint replacements each year, making them some of the most experienced specialists in Northern California and the Central Coast. We offer ankle, elbow, hip, finger, knee and shoulder joint replacement options using the latest technologies and best-practice care.

Your orthopedic surgeon will help determine what procedure is best for you, from minimally invasive procedures to total joint replacement. Robotic-assisted surgery allows for more precise placement of new joints, less scarring and faster recovery than conventional surgery. In fact, most people can walk the same day following minimally invasive surgery. We also provide all the support you need to recover and regain strength and mobility in your new joint.
