Total Knee Arthroplasty
Total knee replacement surgery addresses severe arthritis or joint damage through precise implant placement. Our surgeons use MAKO robotic technology to customize implant positioning based on 3D imaging of your anatomy. This advanced approach reduces recovery time while improving long-term joint function and pain relief for patients with debilitating knee conditions.
PRP Injections
Platelet-rich plasma injections utilize concentrated growth factors from your own blood to accelerate tissue healing. This innovative treatment effectively addresses tendon injuries, ligament damage, and joint inflammation in shoulders, elbows, hips, and backs. The minimally invasive procedure involves ultrasound-guided injections to stimulate natural healing processes.
Podiatry Services
Our podiatry specialists diagnose and treat foot and ankle conditions ranging from sports injuries to chronic issues like plantar fasciitis. Services include custom orthotics, diabetic foot care, and surgical correction of bunions, hammertoes, and heel pain. Comprehensive treatment plans combine conservative therapies with advanced surgical options when necessary.
Robotic-Assisted Surgery
MAKO robotic-arm assisted surgery enhances precision for joint replacements through personalized 3D planning and real-time surgical guidance. This technology enables optimal implant placement for hip, knee, and shoulder replacements, resulting in improved surgical outcomes, reduced pain, and faster recovery compared to traditional methods.

I had lived with pain in my right hip for over 2 years. Saw the military orthopedic surgeon whom told me there was nothing wrong with my hip. Went to Dr. Wade, he took one look at my scans and xrays and said you need a new hip. Mine was bone on bone. Fast forward. I am 10 weeks past op and haven't slept this good or felt pain free in 2 years. While he's a man of few words, he was professional and the staff in the office was excellent.
If I ever need another replacement I would go here. Only thing I would say need improvement here is the wait times when you have an appt but then I was never rushed at my apt because he had someone else waiting.

Dr. Wade was very honest with me explained surgery and concerns with detail and candor. I had no pain even after my surgery. Great care from surgery center also. The only thing I had concern was my initial appoint my medical note was of another person. He's a good surgeon have no complaints.

Worst Care EVER. I was told Dr. Wade had a new partner that had better bed side manner then him. I didn't think it could get any worse but Dr. Everson was dismissive and seemed to not understand my prior surgery Dr. Wade did on my shoulder. Letting them do surgery on my shoulder was the worst decision ever, wish I could take it back

I had an excellent experience with Dr Wade and staff. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Dr Wade knew exactly what was wrong with my shoulder and informed me of the process of surgery. After surgery he got me into physical therapy and met with me to make sure it was going good. I definitely recommend Dr Wade if u have bone issues.
