Outpatient Joint Replacement
Dr. Chan is one of the leaders in South Florida in outpatient hip and knee replacement performed in an ambulatory surgical center. He was the first in Broward County to perform a direct anterior approach hip replacement in an ASC and remains the highest volume ASC hip and knee replacement surgeon in Broward or Dade County. Patients are up and walking within an hour of surgery and can be discharged home within two hours of surgery. Dr. Chan has been recognized by Becker’s ASC Review as one of “10 ASC Total Joint Surgeons to Know” and his outpatient joint replacement program at Cypress Creek Outpatient Surgical Center is only one of six centers nationwide where other surgeons can bring their teams to learn about same-day hip and knee replacement to bring to their facilities.
