Arthritis Specialists
The wear and tear from a lifetime of physical activity, as well as injuries, can damage joints — points in your body where two or more bones come together. When that happens, we carefully consider both surgical and nonsurgical treatments to find your best options based on your unique situation.
Schedule an appointment with a arthritis care specialist at one of our Minneapolis St. Paul arthritis clinic locations to explore what treatments options are right for you.

New Recovery Experience
Summit introduced an innovative and popular new option for joint replacements. Surgery takes place at one of our surgery centers followed by a stay in our Care Suites, which are styled like an upscale hotel environment.
We use the latest pain management methods to reduce postoperative discomfort as well as the most advanced therapies to speed recovery. We also perform joint replacement surgeries at local hospitals. Together with your surgeon, you’ll discuss options for your unique situation.
