Kayal Orthopaedic Center

What Kayal Orthopaedic Center does

Kayal Orthopaedic Center, P.C. is a founder-owned, private multi-specialty orthopaedic medical practice headquartered in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey. Founded in 1994 by Dr. Robert A. Kayal, the practice operates 13+ clinic locations across Bergen County, NJ and Rockland County, NY, with a 16th facility in Allendale, NJ scheduled for Fall 2026. The practice delivers comprehensive musculoskeletal care through 16 Centers of Excellence spanning orthopaedic surgery (shoulder and elbow, hand and wrist, foot and ankle, hip and knee, hip preservation, sports medicine), podiatry, rheumatology, osteoporosis management, interventional pain management, physical therapy, chiropractic, orthobiologics, massage, advanced medical imaging, and laser therapy. Notable clinical technology includes the Stryker Mako robotic-arm assisted surgery platform for partial and total hip and knee replacement, 1.5T and open 1.2T MRI systems, an Esaote O-Scan extremity MRI (the only one in Northern New Jersey), CT, DEXA, C-arm fluoroscopy, and MLS Laser Therapy.

The practice's go-to-market is sales-led, direct-to-patient, and operates on a fee-for-service model funded primarily through in-network insurance reimbursements. It participates as an in-network provider with seven major carriers — Aetna, Cigna, Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield, Medicare, Oxford, Qualcare, and UnitedHealthcare — and accepts appointments via phone, online request, the Healow patient portal, and same-day visits at multiple locations. Brand and patient acquisition are driven by physician authority content (individual physician bios, podcast, book authored by Dr. Kayal), SEO-optimized condition pages, reputation management (Castle Connolly Top Doctors, NJ Top Docs, Vitals awards), and hospital affiliations with Hackensack Meridian Health, The Valley Hospital, and Chilton Medical Center. The customer base is highly distributed across individual patients in Northern New Jersey and Rockland County, NY, with no enterprise or B2B concentration. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; no institutional investors, PE backing, or M&A activity is reported, and the practice operates as a professional corporation under founder ownership.
