The Riverside Difference

Why it Matters to You

Comprehensive care.
Only local healthcare system, in Hampton Roads, that has all the resources to provide coordinated orthopaedic care from the initial consultation through rehabilitation and recovery.

Better care.
Regardless of where your visit with us starts or path you take along the way, your treatment across every stage of care is coordinated by your personal Riverside orthopaedic physician team.

Individualized Road to Recovery Treatment Plan.

A personalized plan for care and recovery.
Each person's recovery is unique and that is why your personal physician team will create a rehabilitation and recovery roadmap personalized just for you.

More local outpatient physical therapy centers than any other health system.

Your treatment is close to home.
Our local therapy centers mean you don't have to travel out of the area for treatment.

A national leader in the use of electronic medical records.
Riverside physicians can access and share critical medical information and diagnostic results 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Improved communication between caregivers.
Electronic medical records assist physicians in arriving at a quicker diagnosis and help them better coordinate your continued care across the health system, from diagnosis through recovery.

Only local Emergency & Trauma Center serving the Virginia Peninsula.

Ready to treat you at any time.
Our Level II Emergency & Trauma Center is staffed around the clock with Board Certified Emergency Physicians and orthopaedic surgeon physician partners who are on call 24/7.

Newly redesigned Rehabilitation Centers.

Opportunity for faster, more complete recovery.
Often before you go home, you can recover faster by having intense, specialized inpatient rehabilitation and nursing care immediately following a joint replacement or other major orthopaedic procedure. Our Rehabilitation Centers provide a hotel-like setting away from the hospital where you can comfortably spend a few days or a few weeks before going home.

Only Physiatrist-led rehabilitation programs.

A higher degree of coordinated care.
A physiatrist is a doctor who specializes in rehabilitation. Our physiatrist works with your orthopaedic physician to oversee and coordinate your recovery after major surgery.

Riverside Nurse hotline.

Help is a call away.
When you injure a joint or bone or if you just start aching, our free Riverside Nurse hotline can advise you about immediate self-care and whether you should seek medical attention.
