Orthopedic One

What Orthopedic One does

Orthopedic One is a private, physician-owned orthopedic surgery practice headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, and the largest such practice in the state. Founded in 2004, it operates eight physician clinic locations and multiple therapy service sites across central Ohio, supported by hospital and ASC affiliations with OhioHealth, Mount Carmel Health System, and several independent surgery centers. Its clinical scope spans hip, knee, spine, shoulder, sports medicine, foot and ankle, hand and wrist, elbow, joint preservation, and trauma care, delivered through nearly 70 fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons and specialists, more than 100 physical and occupational therapists, and approximately 700 associates.

The practice's service portfolio combines conservative non-operative musculoskeletal care, in-house imaging (fluoroscopy, EMG, MRI), orthopedic surgery with Mako SmartRobotics-assisted joint replacement, sports medicine outreach, and post-operative PT/OT rehabilitation. Surgical volume is concentrated in joint replacements (~4,500 knee and ~3,000 hip procedures annually) and arthroscopy, with more than 84% of surgeries performed in outpatient ambulatory surgery centers rather than hospitals. Digital patient tools include a Medent-based patient portal, online bill pay with Text 2 Pay, and a physician finder. Revenue is generated primarily through professional services billing across commercial insurance, Medicare Advantage, Medicare, and Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation, with co-payments collected at the time of service.

The business model is anchored by an integrated care continuum that retains patients from initial consultation through surgery and rehabilitation within a single physician-owned system. Go-to-market combines direct patient scheduling (no referral required unless mandated by insurance), physician referrals, sports medicine partnerships with the Columbus Blue Jackets, Columbus Crew, Columbus Crew 2/Academy, and Columbus Fury, and a community engagement program. Orthopedic One is recognized as #1 in Ohio and top five nationally for orthopedics by Castle Connolly Top Doctors for the third consecutive year, with 52 physicians on the Castle Connolly list and 11 on Newsweek America's Leading Doctors 2025. A 40,000sf expansion in Pickerington is under construction for Spring 2027, and Paul Smith, MBA, was appointed COO effective April 6, 2026 to support continued scaling of the independent practice.
