MemorialCare Long Beach Medical Center – A Leader in Joint Replacement and Revision Surgery

LBLN

Long Beach, CA – MemorialCare Long Beach Medical Center stands out as a leading destination for patients seeking total joint replacement and revision surgeries. Under the leadership of Dr. Andrew Wassef, Medical Director of the MemorialCare Joint Replacement Center, the facility provides expert care for individuals suffering from severe arthritis and joint complications.

The center specializes in total hip, total knee, and total shoulder replacements, offering state-of-the-art treatment to restore mobility and improve patients’ quality of life. For those who have previously undergone joint replacement but are now experiencing complications—whether due to wear and tear, mechanical issues, or infections—revision surgery is an essential option.

“Some patients had their hip replacements 25 years ago and simply need new parts,” explains Dr. Wassef. “Revision surgery involves redoing a prior joint replacement to address mechanical issues, pain, or other complications interfering with normal activities.”

MemorialCare Long Beach Medical Center has been nationally recognized as a top orthopedic program, thanks to its dedicated team of surgeons, nurses, physical therapists, and operating room technicians. Their collaborative efforts ensure excellent patient outcomes and make the center a trusted choice for complex procedures.

Beyond surgery, the hospital offers comprehensive post-operative care, including acute rehabilitation and intensive care, ensuring that patients recover in a well-supported environment. “It’s amazing how much our team cares,” Dr. Wassef adds. “They put their blood, sweat, and tears into making this an outstanding program.”

For patients considering joint replacement or revision surgery, MemorialCare Long Beach Medical Center provides expert evaluations and consultations. Those interested can reach out at (562) 933-4004 or visit memorialcare.org/LBjointreplacement for more information.

With cutting-edge care and a compassionate team, MemorialCare Long Beach Medical Center remains a top choice for orthopedic surgery in Southern California.
