When we think about the success of a hip or knee replacement, we often focus on the surgical technique, perfectly aligned implants, the disappearance of pain, and so on. At Clinique Duval, we believe that patient satisfaction goes far beyond that. Having surgery at Clinique Duval is an experience of compassionate, personalized care.

Communication, pain management, perioperative organization, and postoperative support all shape how patients perceive their care journey.
In a scientific study, we evaluated the impact of systematically assessing patient satisfaction and implementing measures based on their feedback. The message from patients was clear: the details matter. |

Continuous Improvement
How Your Voice Shapes the Future of Hip and Knee Replacement at Clinique Duval
Our goal was to move from “Excellent” to “Exceptional”
Even when surgical outcomes are world-class, there is always room for improvement. This study examined how systematic and periodic satisfaction surveys provide the data needed to drive concrete changes in our clinic.
The results: patients gave us an overall satisfaction rating of 97%, and 98% of patients would recommend Clinique Duval to a friend, loved one, or family member. These results touch our hearts and motivate our constant efforts to improve your care.
What this study also highlights are simple yet powerful:
• The patient experience must be measured continuously.
• Feedback must lead to concrete actions.
• Quality improvement is not just clinical; it is human.
Even in a high-performing environment, listening to patients and adapting care processes leads to measurable gains in the overall experience.
What Has Changed
Nursing Follow-Up: We recognized that patients may feel some uncertainty during their first few weeks at home. In response, we have established a systematic nursing follow-up program with scheduled calls. Each patient receives a contact card with direct information to reach a dedicated nurse.
Enhanced education: We have updated our guides to provide more details about medication and what to expect at each stage of recovery.
Physical Therapy: A physical therapy team evaluates and guides patients daily in their recovery at the clinic.
Meals to Suit Your Taste: We have hired a chef who, along with her team, prepares delicious meals to suit your preferences.
Why This Matters to You
This study shows that we listen to our patients and incorporate their suggestions as part of our commitment to continuous improvement. By treating your satisfaction as a vital sign (just like your heart rate or blood pressure), we ensure that your care remains personalized, compassionate, and at the cutting edge of technology.
The key point: At Clinique Duval, continuous improvement isn’t just a project; it’s our culture. By prioritizing your emotional well-being and clear communication, we ensure that your return to mobility is as stress-free as possible.
