Do I need a referral from my primary care physician?

For most patients, the answer is no. Our physicians thrive on direct relationships with our patients. Insurance companies no longer require a referral in most cases.

Are your services more expensive?

We are more cost-competitive because our services are focused solely on orthopedics. Our patients need not worry about paying for services they’ll never use.

Why did you open the Orthopedic & Sports Institute?

Our doctors wanted to create a more patient-friendly environment to treat their patients. The Orthopedic & Sports Institute was established to allow patients with orthopedic issues to be treated quickly, compassionately, efficiently, and cost-effectively.
