Choosing the right surgical environment
Summit specialists perform surgery both at our ambulatory surgery centers for same-day surgery, as well as at local hospitals for patients who are better suited for that environment. Certain larger total knee and hip replacements as well as advanced spine procedures can be performed at our Vadnais Heights or Eagan Surgery Centers followed by an overnight Care Suites recovery stay. Talk with your surgeon about what option would be best for your unique situation.

Conservative approaches explored prior to surgery
Frequently, orthopedic conditions can be managed with a wide array of treatments ranging from conservative approaches like medication or physical therapy to a variety of surgical procedures. That’s why, at Summit, we begin by considering the least invasive treatment options.
We take a conservative approach to care, and surgery is something we consider only after other efforts have not produced desired results. It’s a decision that you and your surgeon make together based on your unique situation.
When you are empowered with information to understand your treatment choices, you are in a better position to choose the path that is best for your values and lifestyle.
