The Revive Joint Replacement Program provides patients with highly personalized

therapists for quicker recoveries and improved outcomes.
Luis Corrales, MD, Board-Certified Orthopedic Surgeon
As Medical Director of the Revive Joint Replacement Program, Dr. Corrales
leads the clinical staff to ensure Revive Joint Replacement patients receive
the highest level of care possible before, during and after surgery. Dr.
Corrales and his team educate patients before surgery so they know what
to expect and how to prepare. These efforts to optimize health before
surgery ensure positive outcomes, minimize post-surgical pain and get
patients up and moving as quickly as possible.
Dr. Corrales earned degrees at UCLA and Harvard Medical School before completing
his residency at the UCSF Orthopaedic Residency Program. He continued
his surgical training through two prestigious orthopedic fellowships:
The Hip and Knee Joint Replacement and Reconstruction Surgery Fellowship
at the Malabar Orthopaedic Institute in Australia and The Trans-Tasman
Shoulder and Elbow Surgery Fellowship at Otago University in New Zealand.
“I love restoring the body’s function, alleviating pain and
improving quality of life. The most rewarding part of my work is forming
a connection with my patients and helping them become healthier, happier
and enjoy a more active life.” – Dr. Luis Corrales
