Florida Orthopaedic Institute

What Florida Orthopaedic Institute does

Florida Orthopaedic Institute (FOI), founded in 1989 and operating as Tallahassee Orthopedic Clinic III, P.L., is one of the largest independent orthopedic specialty groups in the United States. The practice delivers comprehensive musculoskeletal care through 117 board-certified, fellowship-trained physicians organized into nine body-region subspecialties (shoulder, hip, knee, foot & ankle, hand & wrist, elbow, spine, pain management, sports medicine) plus cross-cutting services such as trauma, arthritis care, bone health, chiropractic, plastic surgery, independent medical exams, durable medical equipment, and physical/occupational therapy. Care is delivered across 44 clinic offices, 9 ambulatory surgery centers, and 5 orthopedic urgent care centers throughout the Tampa Bay region and Central / North Central Florida, with an on-site imaging footprint (MRI, CT, X-ray, ultrasound) and a robotic-assisted surgery stack (Mako, ROSA, NAVIO) that supports joint replacement and other procedures.

FOI generates revenue primarily through fee-for-service physician professional services, with additional streams from facility and surgical fees at its nine ASCs, on-site imaging and diagnostics, workers' compensation programs (with a dedicated phone line and case-management routing), and a self-pay orthopedic urgent care channel that publishes pricing of approximately $100–$300 per visit as a lower-cost alternative to emergency rooms. Distribution is direct-to-consumer through owned clinics, ASCs, and urgent care centers, complemented by an inside-sales phone scheduling function, online self-scheduling powered by Radix Health, and enterprise/channel referral relationships with Tampa General Hospital, BayCare, AdventHealth, the University of South Florida, the University of Tampa, Saint Leo University, and the Tampa Bay Rowdies.

The organization maintains flagship designations including the only Stryker Center of Excellence for Total Ankle Replacement in Florida (one of 13 nationally) and a historical pioneering role in reverse shoulder replacement (Dr. Mark Frankle, first U.S. case in 1998). FOI is governed by its practicing physicians via a Florida professional limited company structure, with affiliated entities Orthopaedic Solutions Management (management services), the Foundation for Orthopaedic Research & Education (FORE), and Florida Innovation & Education (FIVE) Labs supporting research, residency and fellowship training. There is no disclosed venture, private equity, or public-market ownership; no parent company; no SEC filings; and no disclosed revenue, financing rounds, or M&A activity.
