John Muir Medical Center, Walnut Creek Campus, has been named one of "America's Best Hospitals 2007" by U.S.News & World Report for Orthopedics

John Muir Health offers groundbreaking techniques and equipment far ahead of others in the field. We were among the first in the Bay Area to perform the mini-knee and artificial disk replacement surgeries. As Contra Costa County's only trauma center, our surgeons have specially designed surgical equipment available for treating orthopedic traumas and other complex orthopedic cases.
