About Us

At American Orthopedic Partners (AOP), physicians lead the way. Our management services organization provides operational, financial, and strategic support while protecting autonomy and enabling sustainable growth for our practice partners.

Who We Are

American Orthopedic Partners was established to provide private practice orthopedic surgeons with the comprehensive support they need to succeed. We understand the challenges that medical professionals face, and we’re dedicated to providing valuable resources and infrastructure to our partners.

Here, we lead with integrity. Our goal is not to standardize care or replace local leadership. We provide support without interfering in how our partners practice medicine, and aim to simplify the increasingly complex healthcare field.

Physician-Led Every Step of the Way

Our team is guided by a deeply held belief that medicine should be led by local physicians who are connected and committed to their communities. With AOP, our practice partners retain decision-making authority over clinical care and their practice’s operations. We maintain a focus on clinical experience and excellence, enabling our partners to lead their practices to success.

We foster leadership development at each of our partner practices to build strong physician networks and capabilities at local and regional levels. Our partners’ leaders are deeply integrated into our structure, and their perspectives shape every decision we make.

Supporting Your Authority

As the healthcare field grows more and more complicated, orthopedic surgeons and physicians must be ready to contend with regulatory requirements, reimbursement challenges, evolving staffing needs, and technological advancements. American Orthopedic Partners is ready to step in and handle non-clinical functions, allowing our partners to focus on their patients and practice. Our goal is to offer expertise, not take control. At AOP, our support model is built upon the following values:

Respect for local governance and physician autonomy
Flexible resources that adapt to each partner’s needs
Collaboration and aligned ownership over top-down mandates
Long-term partnerships with sustainable growth over short-term success

One Platform, One Team

Here, we take cues from our practice partners and learn from them to better serve our network. We adopt their best practices and readily embrace innovations and technology that improve the patient experience. Our team shares experiences and information to offer the best possible solutions and treatments to every patient. We’re solely focused on orthopedics, and our combined expertise allows for top-tier support that reflects the realities of musculoskeletal care, orthopedic specialties, and modern operational demands. We can aid in the following goals:

Growth planning and market expansion
Business operations and administrative support
Information technology (IT) and data security measures
Contract work management, staffing, and financial optimization
Clinical quality standards

Scalable Support Without Standardization

With American Orthopedic Partners, your practice’s unique identity remains intact every step of the way.

We’re not here to overpower your relationships with your patients and your community. Instead, we provide national-level operational, strategic, and financial resources you need to scale at your own pace. Our platform has helped partners reach new markets, streamline their day-to-day operations, attract talented staff, and more. We’ve built a top-to-bottom infrastructure that can adapt to practices of all sizes and help our partners achieve their goals. Here, you’ll never have to adopt standardized, impersonal systems or distance yourself from patients.

“I’ve spent decades training over 600 fellows, orthopedic residents, and primary care sports medicine fellows on orthopedic best practices and new ways to treat sports injuries that improve outcomes. With AOP, I’ve found an organization with national scale where I can continue to share my experience in clinical research, best practices, and my passion for orthopedics."
