If hip or knee pain is making it hard to climb stairs, get in and out of the car, or sleep through the night — you are not alone. These are among the most common challenges people face after 50, and they tend to get worse over time without treatment.
The good news: joint replacement surgery has come a long way. Today’s procedures are faster, safer, and far less disruptive than what your parents may have experienced. Most of Dr. Gough’s patients walk the same day as surgery and go home within 24 hours.
Dr. Brandon Gough specializes in minimally invasive, muscle-sparing, robotic-assisted hip and knee replacement in Scottsdale, Arizona. His approach is designed to reduce pain, speed recovery, and get you back to doing what matters most.
Hip & Knee Procedures
Dr. Gough was the first surgeon in Arizona to use the muscle sparing approach with robotic assistance and has been doing this type of joint replacement since 2013
Robotic Total Knee Replacement - MAKOplasty®
Robotic-assisted surgery that preserves your quadriceps muscle, uses a 4–6 inch incision, and gets most patients walking the same day — with results built to last 25–30 years.
Partial Knee replacement - MAKOplasty®
If your damage is confined to one part of the knee, robotic precision allows Dr. Gough to treat only what needs treatment — leaving all healthy tissue intact. Same-day home. Full recovery in 2–4 weeks.
Revision Total Knee Replacement
When a previous knee replacement is causing pain, instability, or reduced motion, Dr. Gough specializes in the complex revision surgery needed to restore comfort and function.
Total Hip Replacement (Direct Superior) - MAKOplasty®
A muscle-sparing technique that eliminates post-surgery restrictions, reduces dislocation risk, and has most patients walking the same day. No long recovery. No long list of rules.
Revision Total Hip Replacement - MAKOplasty®
If a previous hip replacement is causing groin pain, instability, or swelling, Dr. Gough's specialized experience in complex revision cases can help restore stability and get you moving comfortably again.
My initial consultation with Dr Gough put me at ease that I was in good hands. Every person that I spoke with from financial obligation to pre-op and post-op care has been the best. Whitney, the PA in the office, is very knowledgeable, caring, and personable. The surgery center was top notch and I’m on the mend. I’m so happy that I chose Gough Surgical for my knee replacement. Thank you to Everyone on the team!

Modern Technology. Proven Results.
Traditional joint replacement surgery came with long recovery times, large incisions, and a list of restrictions that could last for months. That has changed.
