Hip and Knee Pain in Scottsdale's Most Prestigious Community

Silverleaf is one of the most exclusive private club communities in the United States — a guard-gated enclave in the McDowell Mountains where the Tom Weiskopf-designed Silverleaf Club course ranks among the finest private layouts in Arizona, 33 miles of private paths wind through protected desert, and the Gateway Trailhead provides access to some of the most dramatic terrain in the Sonoran Desert. It is a community built for people who expect excellence — in their surroundings and in their care. Hip and knee pain is no respecter of address. When the joint that carries you through a round at Silverleaf Club or up the Gateway trails starts failing, the lifestyle this community offers becomes difficult to access. Dr. Brandon Gough is a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon practicing in North Scottsdale — minutes from Silverleaf — 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 Silverleaf Life

Silverleaf is a community where standards are uncompromising — and the expectation of an active, fulfilling lifestyle is built into every aspect of how it was designed. Hip and knee pain doesn’t just affect your body here — it affects your access to the club, the trails, and the lifestyle you’ve worked to build. 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 Silverleaf life at full capacity.
