Is Joint Replacement Right for You?

We Understand Joint Replacement Is a Big Decision

That’s why Samaritan’s Total Joint Replacement Program is based on advanced preparation, education and individualized post-surgical therapy.

Better yet, our program is based at Samaritan Albany General Hospital, which has been given a 5-Star rating by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. This rating validates the hospital’s excellence across the full spectrum of care – from diagnosis to treatment, rehabilitation and outcomes.
