Physician Transaction Advisors is pleased to announce that one of the leading orthopaedic groups in the Midwest, South Bend Orthopaedics (SBO), has entered into a partnership with OrthoAlliance. The partnership will enhance SBO's success and comprehensive approach to delivering specialized bone, joint, and muscle care to more patients throughout northern Indiana.
"Our entire team at SBO is excited to join OrthoAlliance, which has quickly grown into the Midwest's most prominent orthopaedic network," said Dr. A.J. Mencias, President of South Bend Orthopaedics. "At SBO our goal is to get our patients back in the game, whether that means sports, work, or just everyday life. We provide specialized care for our surgical and rehabilitation patients, as well as those suffering from work-related or sports injuries. Our comprehensive service line including plastic and reconstructive surgery, anesthesia, neurosurgery, and podiatric care will continue to support the needs of our community. Our new partnership with OrthoAlliance will enhance the exceptional care we are known for."
SBO operates clinics in South Bend, Mishawaka, Elkhart, Plymouth, and LaPorte, Indiana which are staffed by an experienced and accomplished team of physicians, physician assistants, physical therapists, athletic trainers, physical therapy assistants, and occupational therapists.
South Bend Orthopaedics was represented by PTA through the transaction process. "Jim Freund and the PTA team supported us throughout the process. Their knowledge and expertise were extremely valuable at critical junctures during this very intensive process," added Dr. Mencias. "They truly helped us to realize an exceptional result."
PTA's Managing Partner Jim Freund added, "We are proud to have had the opportunity to help SBO realize their goals. It was a pleasure to work with the exceptional leadership team at SBO and we would like to recognize the efforts of their senior management team as well as OrthoAlliance for working together in a synergistic and timely manner to make this a true win-win for both organizations."
Patients will experience no changes in the doctors they trust or the services they rely on from SBO but will benefit from greater access to the latest surgical and medical advances as well as additional resources and investment in the latest technologies.
