Surgery & Post-Op Healing Close to Home

Sharon is finally considering having gallbladder surgery after years of gallstone pain. Kevin wants to get back to pain-free skiing, so he’s decided that a recommended knee replacement will happen this year. Both can get these routine surgeries done with care and expertise right here in their community.

From total hip replacements to hernias to cataracts, Estes Park Health Surgical Services successfully conducts hundreds of surgeries each year.  In fact, an article in U.S. News & World Report finds community hospitals are the ideal place for routine surgeries, keeping patients closer to the support of family and friends.
