A tradition of excellence

Our team-based care starts with exceptional subspecialty trained physicians–most of whom are fellowship-trained experts. They will work with you to exhaust non-surgical treatments first, but if orthopedic surgery is needed, you can rest assured knowing you are in the best of hands. Each year, we usually perform more than 28,800 orthopedic surgeries. The scientific research literature has shown that there is a relationship between a greater number of orthopedic surgeries and improved patient outcomes. To treat a wide variety of injuries and conditions, they collaborate with medical professionals in other disciplines, including physiatrists and pain management specialists, as well as physician assistants (PAs), nurse practitioners (NPs), and certified athletic trainers (ATCs).

Our expertise extends to the full suite of related services, including imaging, physical therapy, patient education, and orthotics. Many of these services are conveniently available under one roof at most of our locations.
