A Physician’s Mindset 

American Orthopedic Partners is proud to be physician-owned and -led, and we welcome input from our physician partners. We believe that our experts are our most valuable asset, and their insight is crucial to every decision we make. 

AOP was built to view the world through the eyes of a physician, with a passion for exceptional patient care and a strong desire for independence and a unique identity. Clinical excellence and local control are embedded in our culture and drive our partner relationships. We’re here to support orthopedic practices, not overpower them with standardized systems and impersonal processes.

Keeping Healthcare Local 

Successful medical care is personal medical care. We understand the deep connection physicians have with their communities, and we’ll never interfere with those relationships. Our partners understand their local economies, job market, payer mix, competition, and patients best.

AOP takes a step back at the local level, allowing physicians and surgeons to maintain control over their care delivery, staffing, and daily operations. We provide the resources our partners need to enhance their efficiency and consistency behind the scenes as they take care of their communities.

For me to be involved in a national initiative, I need to be sure that the practice’s values are focused on the patient. I look forward to helping shape this new model that will enable physicians to grow their practices while working collaboratively to practice better. Who better to take on this exciting new initiative than physicians?

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.
