“We believe that quality orthopedic care for healthy patients will continue to transition out of large traditional hospitals with significant cost disadvantages and inefficiencies,” he wrote. “With that in mind, we built this center to be a fully operational outpatient joint replacement and spine center using current best practices and appropriate screening. This will also be achieved by all members working with similar purpose and enthusiasm towards the end goal.”
