Frequently Asked Questions about Orthopedic Surgeon with Dr. Peck in Mississauga
- What is joint replacement surgery, and when might Dr. Peck recommend it?
- Joint replacement surgery, or arthroplasty, is a procedure where damaged or arthritic parts of a joint (like the hip, knee, or shoulder) are removed and replaced with artificial components (prostheses) made of metal, plastic, or ceramic. Dr. Peck might recommend joint replacement if a patient has severe joint pain and loss of function, typically due to advanced osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or a significant injury, and non-surgical treatments (like medication, injections, physiotherapy) are no longer providing adequate relief. The goal is to reduce pain, improve mobility, and enhance quality of life.
- How long is the recovery time after orthopedic surgery with Dr. Peck?
- Recovery time after orthopedic surgery varies greatly depending on the type of surgery performed (e.g., arthroscopy vs. joint replacement vs. fracture fixation), the specific joint or bone involved, the patient's age and overall health, and their adherence to the post-operative rehabilitation plan. Some minor procedures may have a recovery of a few weeks, while major surgeries like total joint replacements can take several months for full recovery and return to all activities. Dr. Peck will discuss the expected recovery timeline for a specific procedure during the pre-operative consultation.
- What are some common conditions an Orthopedic Surgeon like Dr. Peck treats?
- Orthopedic Surgeons like Dr. Peck treat a wide range of musculoskeletal problems.

The goal is always to restore function and reduce pain.
- Do I typically need a referral to see an Orthopedic Surgeon like Dr. Peck?
- In Ontario, a referral from a family doctor (GP) or another specialist is generally required to see an Orthopedic Surgeon like Dr. Peck for consultations and potential surgical treatments covered by provincial health plans like OHIP.
