Physician Testimonial Video
"[Our] relationship has exceeded all of the physicians' expectations. Our day-to-day practices have really not changed. The doctors seem to be in full control and have the same level of autonomy as ever. Behind the scenes, Growth Ortho is helping us to steer our practice in a direction of growth and continued excellence."
-Christian Christensen MD, Bluegrass Orthopaedics
"Much investment has been put into the clinical practice to improve efficiencies and employee retention, engagement and recruitment. Most importantly, as promised by Growth Ortho, there has been no interference in the day-to-day operations of our organization and ultimately, we as the individual physicians of Bluegrass Orthopaedics continue to make the decisions that affect our organization."
-Jason Harrod DPM, Bluegrass Orthopaedics
Physician Testimonial Video
"The number one thing I was most protective of was our autonomy to be able to continue to practice medicine the way we want to practice medicine. We are about a year into our partnership, and in that year we've seen tremendous growth. Growth Ortho has made good on all their promises, if anything they've overdelivered... The only thing I wish I would have done different is bring [Growth Ortho] in sooner."
-Edwards Seade MD, Orthopaedic Specialists of Austin
