Wethersfield, CT (PRWEB) October 16, 2015 -- Regency House Nursing and Rehabilitation Center and Hartford Health Care At Home are sponsoring a free seminar on joint replacement at noon on Monday, Oct. 26 at the Wallingford Senior Center. The event, free and open to the public, features Dr. Leonard Kolstad, a recognized leader in orthopedic surgery.
Is joint replacement right for everyone? How does one know when it’s time and what should be expected after surgery?

Dr. Kolstad completed a residency program with the University of Connecticut and is certified with the American Board of Orthopedic Surgeons as well as the Arthroscopy Board of North America.
