Orthopedic Partners

What Orthopedic Partners does

Orthopedic Partners is a private multi-specialty orthopedic practice headquartered in North Franklin, Connecticut, operating across three clinic locations (North Franklin, Niantic, and Willimantic) with surgical privileges at four regional facilities (William Backus Hospital, Windham Hospital, Lawrence & Memorial Hospital, and Constitution Surgery Center East). Originally founded in 1957 as Norwich Orthopedic Group, the practice provides comprehensive orthopedic care across six subspecialty departments: foot and ankle, spine, joint replacement, sports medicine and shoulder, hand/wrist/upper extremity, and physical and occupational therapy. Patients are individual consumers referred through primary care physicians or self-referred, and the practice is physician-owned with no disclosed private equity or venture capital backing. Technology footprint is anchored by third-party robotic-assisted surgical platforms — Mako SmartRobotics for hip and knee arthroplasty, the Stryker robotic-assisted reverse total shoulder system (one of only 16 globally to collaborate on this platform), and Globus navigation for spine — along with fluoroscopic-guided injections and arthroscopic techniques.

The company's go-to-market is sales-led, centered on direct-to-patient acquisition through scheduled appointments (phone, online booking, and the FollowMyHealth patient portal), supplemented by physician referrals and institutional team-physician roles with high schools, Mitchell College, Connecticut College, the WNBA Connecticut Sun, and the New England Black Wolves. Revenue is generated from professional services — office consultations, diagnostics, surgical procedures, and in-house rehabilitation — billed through standard healthcare fee schedules and insurance contracts; specific procedure pricing is not publicly disclosed. Educational content (YouTube videos, virtual lectures on robotic spine surgery), social media presence across Facebook/Instagram/LinkedIn/YouTube, and community sponsorships serve as mid- and top-of-funnel awareness channels.

Orthopedic Partners competes on the basis of fellowship-trained surgical talent recruited from elite programs (Harvard, Cleveland Clinic, Rush, Brown, Cornell, Florida Orthopedic Institute), a 65-year regional brand heritage, integrated in-house rehabilitation, and access to multiple robotic surgical platforms — including an exclusive-to-Northeast shoulder robotics capability. Strategic positioning is that of a high-quality, multi-specialty community orthopedic group serving eastern Connecticut and adjacent Rhode Island markets, with recent geographic expansion into Willimantic and a collaboration with Stryker that opens a differentiated robotic shoulder service line.
