Orthopedic Services
Our Orthopedics Services focus on addressing injuries and diseases that affect the musculoskeletal system — all the bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and nerves that keep your body moving. According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, musculoskeletal problems are the second most common reason for doctor’s visits nationwide, after general medical exams.
When something goes wrong with your muscles, joints, or bones, pain is often a symptom. Our expert team of orthopedic surgeons, nurses, and other health professionals are dedicated to helping you heal.

Awards & Recognition
Blue Distinction® Center for Knee and Hip Replacement
Blue Distinction Centers (BDC) met overall quality measures, developed with input from the medical community. A Local Blue Plan may require additional criteria for providers located in its own service area; for details, contact your Local Blue Plan. Blue Distinction Centers+ (BDC+) also met cost measures that address consumers’ need for affordable healthcare. Each provider’s cost of care is evaluated using data from its Local Blue Plan. Providers in CA, ID, NY, PA, and WA may lie in two Local Blue Plans’ areas, resulting in two evaluations for cost of care; and their own Local Blue Plans decide whether one or both cost of care evaluation(s) must meet BDC+ national criteria. National criteria for BDC and BDC+ are displayed on www.bcbs.com. Individual outcomes may vary. For details on a provider’s in-network status or your own policy’s coverage, contact your Local Blue Plan and ask your provider before making an appointment. Neither Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association nor any Blue Plans are responsible for non-covered charges or other losses or damages resulting from Blue Distinction or other provider finder information or care received from Blue Distinction or other providers.
