Caring for you like our own family

When Marianne knew it was time to get serious about getting her knee replaced, she took the recommendation of a friend that assured her she would get the best care from orthopedic surgeon Dr. Steven Morton and HSHS St. Joseph’s Hospital Highland.  She is so thankful she followed their advice as she couldn’t have asked for better care for her surgery, recovery and physical therapy.

Orthopedic expertise and experience

Director of Surgery Megan Espenschied is proud of the high quality and compassionate care that anyone who comes to HSHS St. Joseph’s can expect from the minute they walk through the doors of the hospital. Combine that with advanced technology like robotic-assisted joint replacement surgery and you don't have to travel across the river to get excellent care. It's right in your backyard. 

Robotic-Assisted Joint Replacement

Our hospital offers a revolutionary, minimally invasive procedure utilizing a robotic arm for precision and more accurate implant alignment. 

The MAKO® Robotic-Arm Assisted System is used by surgeons at HSHS St. Joseph’s Hospital Highland for partial knee replacement and total knee and hip replacements. With greater accuracy, minimal scarring, faster recovery and lasting results, you can quickly return to your active life.

At HSHS St. Joseph's Hospital Highland, our board-certified orthopedic surgeons are committed to elevating the quality, consistency and safety delivered to each and every patient. 
After surgery, St. Joseph's Hospital has a team of highly skilled rehabilitation professionals to help you rebuild and retrain your body.
