Preoperative Wellness Visit

OrthoNC Health programs and services are open and available to all patients. As a part of our total joint replacement program, all patients undergoing knee, hip or shoulder replacement surgery with one of our OrthoNC surgeons, are required to complete a “surgical optimization” visit with our Clinical Health Coach/PA. At this appointment, a complete medical history will be obtained, lab tests will be reviewed or ordered and nutrition, exercise and rehab recommendations will be provided. The overall goal of this appointment is to reduce this risk of complications, surgical delays, enhance the overall patient experience and improve our clinical outcomes.
