Cottage Center for Orthopedics
Stay active through all stages of life. Our talented medical professionals will help keep you moving. In 2014, the Center performed over 1,000 joint replacements, more than anyone else on California’s Central Coast.
At Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital, we are glad to provide the nationally recognized services of Cottage Center for Orthopedics to our community.
Distinguished Joint Replacement Care
The Cottage Center for Orthopedics joint replacement program is the only Center on California’s Central Coast to achieve Primary Certification from The Joint Commission, the nation’s top independent health care accreditor.
Our knee and hip replacement program has also received:
- Gold Seal of Approval™ from The Joint Commission
- Blue Distinction Center designation from the national Blue Cross Blue Shield companies
Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital has skilled orthopedic surgeons, an experienced support team and a new state-of-the-art surgical suite. We also offer thoughtful preparation and resources. Before surgery, patients attend a joint replacement class and go through a screening that includes time with a dietician, physical therapist and case manager. After surgery, patients receive physical therapy at least twice a day during their hospital stay to put them on the path to long-term success.
