If you are experiencing joint pain, the right treatment can help you move with greater ease and comfort. Kennedy White Surgery Center offers outpatient joint replacement for patients who need an artificial joint in the hip, knee, or shoulder and are medically suited for surgery in an outpatient setting.
Our team supports you through every step of the process with clear communication and efficient planning, starting with a pre-surgery call and continuing through your recovery. Using advanced surgical techniques and tools, our surgeons replace damaged joint components with artificial parts designed to reduce pain and improve movement.
As always, our mission remains the same: to help relieve pain, restore mobility, and meet each patient’s medical needs.
Many people can recover safely at home after joint replacement when their surgeon selects them for outpatient care. This approach gives patients the comfort of a familiar setting while our care team still guides each step. We help patients understand how to prepare, what to expect on surgery day, and how to follow recovery instructions after they leave the center.
| Before surgery | Surgery day | Recovery at home |
| The team reviews health history, medications, home support, and instructions for the day of surgery. | Patients arrive, meet the care team, receive surgery, and begin early recovery before going home. | Patients follow the surgeon plan, manage discomfort, move safely, and watch for any concerns. |
Surgery can feel overwhelming, especially when it involves a major joint. We make the process easier to follow. Our staff explains arrival details, fasting instructions, medication guidance, transportation needs, and home safety steps. Patients should arrange for a responsible adult to drive them home and stay nearby after surgery. A prepared home can also support recovery, so patients often benefit from clear pathways, easy access to essentials, and a comfortable place to rest.
Like 99.9% of all medical procedures, outpatient joint replacement does not fit every patient. Your surgeon will review your health, the joint involved, your support at home, and your recovery goals. Some patients need a hospital setting, while others can complete surgery at Kennedy White Surgery Center and continue recovery at home the same day. The safest plan always comes from a personal review with your surgeon.
