The Joint Replacement Center of Louisiana, the first and only ambulatory surgery center (ASC) in Southwest Louisiana to focus exclusively on joint replacement surgery, celebrated its grand opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on June 20.

The Joint Replacement Center of Louisiana is a collaboration between local board certified orthopaedic surgeons, Dr. Jonathan Foret, Dr. Steven Hale, and Dr. George J. Trappey IV, and Compass Surgical Partners, an independent, full-service ASC management partner. Dr. John Noble Jr. and Dr. Michael Garitty, board certified orthopaedic surgeons, also have surgical privileges at the Center.
“Our ultimate goal in opening the Joint Replacement Center of Louisiana is to ensure patients have access to the highest standard of orthopedic surgical techniques and equipment,” said Dr. Hale. “Being able to provide this level of patient care in a comfortable, cost-effective setting is a meaningful advancement for our community.”
