Comprehensive Services

Virtua has more than 120 providers systemwide specializing in orthopedics and spine conditions. The Orthopedics & Spine program offers several distinctions:

  • Subspecialists devoted to specific parts of the body, including hip, knee, shoulder, foot and ankle, hand and wrist, elbow, back, and neck, as well as sports medicine specialists.
  • Personalized plans rather than one-size-fits-all solutions. Virtua specialists take the time to understand each patient’s symptoms, goals, and lifestyle. They develop treatment plans specific to the person’s needs and preferences.
  • Surgical pioneers who are experts in minimally invasive procedures such as robotic-assisted surgery. These innovations can offer better outcomes and faster recovery times.

A full-service, 368-bed medical center, Virtua Voorhees offers leading-edge technology and amenities focused on patient comfort. It has eight surgical suites equipped for robotic and minimally invasive surgeries, two emergency departments (one for adults and one for children), and private patient rooms, among other advanced features. The campus includes an outpatient surgery facility, Summit Surgical Center, recognized among the country’s best by Newsweek.
