Overview
The Division of Orthopedic Surgery at The Ottawa Hospital specializes in care of the musculoskeletal system (bones, joints and muscles).
We provide compassionate and patient-centered quality care that meets both the physical and emotional needs of our patients. Our surgeons take great pride in offering our world-class, patient-centred care.
Team
Each surgeon at The Ottawa Hospital has fellowship training in a specific field of orthopedics. Our division has surgeons with expertise in:
- Arthroplasty (hip and knee replacements).
- Spine surgery.
- Trauma surgery (fractures).
- Oncology (bone tumours).
- Shoulder and elbow surgery.
- Hand and wrist surgery.
- Foot and ankle surgery.
- Sports medicine.
- Pediatric orthopedics (Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario).
Our values
Education and professional development
We train current and future providers to deliver ethical, patient-focused musculoskeletal care and promote injury prevention in the community.
Research
We advance evidence-based practices for treating musculoskeletal conditions across all stages of life.
Regional Hip and Knee Replacement Program
All referrals for patients who are potential candidates for primary total hip or total knee replacement must be sent to the regional central intake centre (CIC).
Referrals sent to surgeons’ offices will be redirected to the CIC and the CIC will ask you to complete a new referral form. This process could take several months, so it would be best for your patient that you complete the approved referral form and fax directly to the CIC.
For more information on referring patients to the CIC please visit the Champlain Regional Orthopedic Network.
Referrals
All patients must be referred by a primary care physician or specialist. Physicians, please send these referrals directly to the office of the individual surgeon.
How we prioritize cases
We recognize that access to orthopedic care can be difficult due to extended wait times for some orthopedic subspecialties. We prioritize each consult based on medical urgency.
Follow-up appointments
Before leaving the hospital or clinic, patients should receive their next appointment. If you did not, please call the outpatient clinic directly. Contact details for both campuses are listed below.
Do not contact individual surgeons' offices to book follow-up appointments.
