Hip and Knee Pain in One of the World's Premier Private Golf Communities

Desert Mountain is one of the most extraordinary private communities in the United States — a guard-gated enclave in the high Sonoran Desert north of Scottsdale where six Jack Nicklaus Signature golf courses, 25 miles of private trails, and access to the Tonto National Forest define a lifestyle available almost nowhere else. It is a community built for people who expect the finest — in their surroundings and in their care. Hip and knee pain is no respecter of address or achievement. When the joint that carries you through a round on the Cochise or Geronimo course or up the private Desert Mountain trails starts failing, access to this extraordinary lifestyle begins to slip away. Dr. Brandon Gough is a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon practicing in North Scottsdale who specializes in minimally invasive, robotic-assisted hip and knee replacement. He has performed more than 8,000 procedures since 2013. Most of his patients walk the same day as surgery and go home within 24 hours.

When Hip or Knee Pain Takes Over Desert Mountain Life

Desert Mountain offers a lifestyle that very few communities in the world can match — six Nicklaus courses, 25 miles of private trails, and the kind of privacy and natural beauty that cannot be replicated. Hip and knee pain doesn’t just affect your body here — it affects your access to all of it. When pain from osteoarthritis, joint damage, or a failed previous replacement reaches the point where non-surgical treatments are no longer helping, joint replacement surgery may be the right step forward. Dr. Gough’s approach — robotic precision, muscle-sparing technique, same-day discharge — is designed to minimize the gap between surgery and getting back to Desert Mountain life at full capacity.

Hip Replacement

From total hip replacement using the Direct Superior approach to complex revision cases, Dr. Gough offers the full range of hip procedures — with same-day discharge as the expected outcome for most patients.

Knee Replacement

MAKOplasty® robotic-assisted partial and total knee replacement, plus revision surgery for failed replacements. Most patients walk the same day and are back to light activity within weeks.
