PRICING
Self-Pay Pricing Information
Dr. Weidner's office provides transparent, self-pay pricing for hip and knee replacement surgery. Because costs vary based on the specific procedure, and individual patient needs, exact pricing is provided during your consultation and scheduling.
When comparing costs, keep in mind that self-pay pricing at an ambulatory surgery center is often significantly less than the same procedure at a hospital.
Cost Estimates:
1) The initial consultation requires a $250 fee. This fee will be retained if no surgery ends up being scheduled. If we need to take new xrays of the joint an xray fee will need to be paid as well (~$150). Patients not local can have initial consultation online.
2) Surgery will be at Stone Springs Ambulatory Surgery Center. Patients must be candidates for outpatient surgery and not require a stay in the hospital.
3) Total cost for outpatient hip or knee replacement please email pworthocao@gmail.com. This fee includes surgical site fees (facility fees), surgeon's fees, anesthesia fees including nerve blocks to help with post-op pain, implant fees, use of MAKO robot (primarily used for knee replacements). Initial $250 consult fee can go towards the total fee if surgery is scheduled.
