Exceptional patient experience

An orthopedic injury or condition can leave you feeling beat. With comprehensive care provided by the experienced professionals on our orthopedics team, you will feel a renewed sense of energy and hope.

You’ll enjoy being treated at Adventist Health Bakersfield because:

• Your comfort is paramount: To minimize any discomfort and allow you to get moving quickly after an orthopedic procedure, our surgeons often use multimodal pain management techniques that reduce pain at the surgical site.
• You can ditch the hospital gown: After joint replacement surgery, we encourage you to dress in your regular clothes because, let’s face it, no one likes walking the halls in a hospital gown.
• We want your family to be comfortable too: Waiting for a loved one in surgery can be nerve-wracking. Our waiting area offers an electronic display that lets your friends and family members track your progress, from pre-op and surgery to the recovery room so they don’t have to wonder what’s going on.
• We want you to feel empowered: Our complimentary joint replacement class walks you through the entire process, including the types of exercises you’ll need to do after surgery. And our experts are on hand to answer any questions you may have so you’ll feel knowledgeable about what’s to come.
• You can count on us even after you go home: If you require additional services after discharge, we coordinate with Adventist Health Home Care Services to provide a continuum of care that gives you the support you need to recover.
• We offer free parking, including valet: We’re conveniently located and offer plenty of free parking, including a complimentary valet service at the entrance to the hospital. You’re not even allowed to tip.
