Planning for Joint & Spine Surgery

Once you and your doctor have determined your individual treatment plan, take time to learn as much as possible about your procedure by attending the appropriate classes offered at HCA Virginia. Our staff will direct you to the appropriate classes and other resources that will help prepare you for surgery and recovery.

The pre-admissions nurse and our central scheduling department will help you schedule any tests and treatments required prior to your procedure. This may include filling out required forms, completing a health history with a pre-admissions nurse and having lab work and diagnostic tests performed.

We put you first, every step of the way. From our comfortable, patient-centered facilities to our skilled, compassionate staff and expert rehabilitation services, you'll experience extraordinary care during your stay at HCA Virginia.
