Wake Orthopaedics

What Wake Orthopaedics does

Wake Orthopaedics is a multi-specialty orthopaedic medical practice operating as a service line of WakeMed Health & Hospitals, a private non-profit health system headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina. Founded in 2003, the practice provides comprehensive orthopaedic care across the full episode of care - pediatric and adult - through 12 subspecialty service lines covering back and spine, foot and ankle, hand/wrist/elbow, hip, knee, shoulder, peripheral nerve surgery, sports medicine, interventional orthopaedics, therapy services, trauma, and pediatric orthopaedics. It is staffed by 25+ orthopaedic surgeons and specialists together with therapists and athletic trainers, and runs 10+ clinic locations plus three dedicated orthopaedic urgent care sites across the Raleigh-Cary-Apex-Durham metro.

Operationally the practice is fully integrated with the WakeMed health system, leveraging the WakeMed MyChart patient portal for online scheduling, record access, and provider messaging, and channeling surgical, imaging, and rehabilitation demand into WakeMed hospital facilities. Distribution is purely regional, with patient access via scheduled appointments, walk-in urgent care, and physician-to-physician referrals. Community outreach through 12+ youth and adult sports team sponsorships (NCFC, Raleigh Pro League, Raleigh Rugby, Trinity Academy, Edge Soccer, Carolina Velocity, among others) functions as a grassroots sports-medicine GTM channel.

The practice generates revenue by billing professional services - consultations, diagnostic imaging, surgical procedures, and rehabilitation - through insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, and self-pay arrangements within the WakeMed system. No public revenue figures, AI/ML capabilities, patents, certifications, or M&A activity are disclosed. Pricing and procedure-level charges are not publicly listed; revenue mechanics are consistent with a fee-for-service specialty group bundled into the parent non-profit hospital system's finances.
