Ortho Rhode Island

What Ortho Rhode Island does

Ortho Rhode Island is a private, multi-specialty orthopedic practice headquartered in Providence, Rhode Island, operating seven clinical locations across Wakefield, Warwick, Providence, Westerly, Middletown, and Johnston. Founded in 2010 through the consolidation of Foundry Orthopedics, South County Orthopedics, and West Bay Orthopedics, the practice provides comprehensive musculoskeletal care spanning sports medicine, joint replacement, spine, hand and upper extremity, foot and ankle, shoulder, elbow, hip, knee, pediatric orthopedics, and rheumatology. It is owned by Spire Orthopedic Partners and employs 251–500 staff including 19 Castle Connolly 2026 Top Doctors, supported by advanced practitioners, physical therapists, hand therapists, and athletic trainers.

The core technology platform is the Mako SmartRobotics system (third-party Stryker technology) used for robotic-assisted hip, knee, partial knee, and — most recently — reverse shoulder replacement, with the Ortho RI Surgery Center in Warwick being the first ambulatory surgery center in Rhode Island to deploy Mako 4 and one of only 20 sites nationwide to offer Mako Shoulder. Surgical planning is based on patient-specific 3D CT scans with real-time intraoperative feedback. Adjacent capabilities include in-office MRI and diagnostic imaging, Ortho RI Biologics (regenerative medicine and Grafix biological grafts), dedicated hand therapy by Certified Hand Therapists, a Running Performance Clinic, Bone Health Clinic, telehealth visits, and a Modernizing Medicine-powered patient portal.

The business operates on fee-for-service healthcare revenue from orthopedic consultations, surgical procedures, physical and occupational therapy, diagnostic imaging, and follow-up care, billed through insurance and patient co-pays. Patients are acquired through physician referrals, primary care channels, direct scheduling via phone or online, and walk-in urgent access through Ortho RI Express (an emergency-room alternative). The company is recognized by Castle Connolly as Rhode Island's #1 Orthopedic Practice and #1 Physician Practice Overall, and the Mako franchise carries 15 years of accumulated robotic-surgery experience in the state.
