Procedure information shows how often this clinician performed the medical procedure(s) in the last 12 months for patients with Medicare. These are based on the number of times a clinician billed the medical procedure(s) to Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage.

Note: This information may not reflect all procedure types, or the total number of procedures performed by this clinician. These aren't the only indicators of quality of care.

Percentiles compare a clinician to their peers who perform the same procedure based on the number of procedures performed in the last 12 months for patients with Medicare. Higher percentiles mean this clinician performed more procedures compared to other clinicians who also performed this procedure.

This clinician may also perform more types of procedures within Medicare and may perform procedures for patients with other types of health insurance, like commercial insurance plans not shown here.

Hip replacement

Annual number of procedures: 21

This clinician's : 68^th

A surgical procedure which removes damaged parts of the hip and replaces it with an artificial joint (prosthesis) made of metals, plastics, and polymers in patients with arthritis or a severe hip injury. Clinicians perform this procedure to relieve severe pain caused by osteoarthritis or when non-surgical options (i.e., pain medicine, exercise, injections etc.) don't relieve pain due to other causes such as hip injury. Hip replacements help to reduce pain, increase strength, restore mobility, and improve quality of life in patients.

Knee replacement

This clinician's : 87^th

A surgical procedure which removes damaged parts of the knee and replaces it with an artificial joint (prosthesis) made of metals, plastics, and polymers in patients with arthritis or a severe knee injury. Clinicians perform this procedure to relieve severe pain caused by osteoarthritis or when non-surgical options (i.e., pain medicine, exercise, injections, etc.) don't relieve pain due to other causes such as knee injury. Knee replacements help to reduce pain, increase strength, restore mobility, and improve quality of life in patients.
