Slocum Center for Orthopedics and Sports Medicine

What Slocum Center for Orthopedics and Sports Medicine does

Slocum Center for Orthopedics and Sports Medicine is a private, physician-owned orthopedic practice founded in 1967 in Eugene, Oregon (originally as the Orthopedic and Fracture Center). It operates as a multi-subspecialty musculoskeletal group delivering board-certified orthopedic surgery across sports medicine, joint replacement, foot and ankle, hand/wrist/elbow/shoulder, and trauma and fracture care, supported by on-site physical and occupational therapy, hand therapy, and diagnostic imaging. Distribution is direct to consumers through a single 55 Coburg Road headquarters, online self-scheduling for foot and ankle, traditional referrals from primary care and emergency rooms, and a 24/7 virtual orthopedic urgent care service launched in 2025 via a third-party OrthoLive platform.

Revenue is generated through professional services fees for in-person consultations, surgical procedures, therapy, and diagnostic imaging, plus telehealth urgent care visits. The practice serves as the Official Orthopedic Team Doctors of University of Oregon Athletics and the Official Sports Medicine Doctors of TrackTown USA, and operates international medical mission partnerships via the Restore Together Foundation for Care. Headcount is reported in the 251–500 range and ownership remains local and independent with no parent company or outside headquarters.

The practice is in an active expansion phase. A 34,000-square-foot physician-led ambulatory surgery center (ASC) on Chad Drive, announced in August 2025 and scheduled to open in spring 2027, will feature eight advanced operating rooms with overnight stay capabilities and double current surgical capacity. The company continues to invest in subspecialty talent (e.g., Dr. Julian Klosowiak in Hand & Wrist, October 2025; Dr. Megan Kunkel in Sports Medicine) and to broaden its digital patient access layer through telehealth and online self-scheduling.
