Hip and Knee Pain in One of North Phoenix's Most Active Communities

Desert Ridge is one of North Phoenix’s most established master-planned communities — a neighborhood built around outdoor living, with the Wildfire Golf Club at its center, the Phoenix Sonoran Desert Preserve at its edge, and High Street and Desert Ridge Marketplace providing a walkable social hub. It’s an active community, and hip and knee pain can quietly erode access to all of it. When the joint that carries you through a round at Wildfire or along the Sonoran Desert trails starts failing, the rhythm of Desert Ridge life changes. Dr. Brandon Gough is a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon based in 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 Ridge Life

Desert Ridge is built around outdoor activity. The Wildfire courses reward walkers. The Sonoran Desert trails reward hikers. The community paths reward the people who use them every morning. Hip and knee pain doesn’t just affect your body — it affects your access to the lifestyle that drew you to Desert Ridge in the first place. 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 Ridge life.

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.
