Hip and Knee Pain in One of Scottsdale's Most Active Adult Communities

Rio Verde is one of the most sought-after active adult communities in the Scottsdale area — a master-planned neighborhood built around two 18-hole golf courses at Rio Verde Country Club, the natural beauty of the McDowell Mountain Regional Park, and a community culture that keeps residents active, connected, and engaged. It is a neighborhood where staying mobile is not optional — it is the whole point. Hip and knee pain can quietly erode everything that makes Rio Verde worth living in. When the joint that carries you through a round at Rio Verde Country Club or along the McDowell Mountain trails starts failing, the rhythm of this community changes. Dr. Brandon Gough is a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon practicing in North Scottsdale — a short drive from Rio Verde — 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 Rio Verde Life

Rio Verde is a community where staying active is a way of life — and where the golf courses, trails, and recreation facilities are the reason most residents chose this address. Hip and knee pain doesn’t just affect your body here — it affects your access to the rounds of golf, the trail walks, the pickleball games, and the community connections that define Rio Verde living. 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 Rio Verde 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.
