Cornerstone

What Cornerstone does

Cornerstone Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine, P.C., now operating as OCC - Cornerstone Orthopedics, is a private, fellowship-trained multi-subspecialty orthopedic and sports medicine practice founded in 1996 by Dr. Joseph Hsin in Colorado. The practice delivers a full continuum of musculoskeletal care — orthopedic and spine surgery, fracture care, sports medicine, hospital-free outpatient total joint replacement, regenerative treatments including PRP therapy, and diagnostic services (X-ray, diagnostic ultrasound, video gait analysis) — alongside on-site physical and occupational therapy (Graston Technique, dry needling, Pilates-based therapy, SFMA, hand therapy, vestibular rehabilitation). Differentiated clinical capabilities include minimally invasive direct anterior hip replacement, robotic-assisted knee replacement, minimally invasive and motion-preserving spine surgery, and a sport concussion clinic using SCAT 5 and King-Devick assessments.

The practice operates three owned-and-staffed clinics on Colorado's Front Range in Golden, Westminster, and Superior, and performs surgical cases at seven affiliated regional hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers (Avista Adventist Hospital, Flatirons Surgery Center, Exempla Lutheran Medical Center, The Surgery Center at Lutheran, St. Anthony North Health Campus, Sky Ridge Medical Center, and North Suburban Medical Center). Patient acquisition is sales-led and referral-based, driven by primary-care physician referrals, community outreach (sports physicals, educational seminars), and official team-physician roles for the University of Regis Athletics (2025-2026), Colorado Christian University, Denver Barbarians Rugby Club, the US Ski Team, and USA Rugby. Digital channels include the cornerstoneorthopedics.com website, Facebook/Instagram/LinkedIn, and the FollowMyHealth patient portal.

Revenue is generated primarily through fee-for-service billings — patient consultations, surgical procedures, integrated physical and occupational therapy, and diagnostic and injection services. Pricing for self-pay patients carries a minimum $200 registration deposit, with most Medicare replacement and HMO plans requiring referrals; the practice accepts most major plans but does not guarantee coverage. In the early 2020s Cornerstone joined Orthopedic Centers of Colorado (OCC), Colorado's largest orthopedic network, and as of July 2025 became a fully integrated division of OCC under a unified brand while retaining its physicians, locations, and care model. The practice also operates the Cornerstone Education & Research Foundation (founded 2004) for international orthopedic missions and community/youth health programs. No private equity, venture capital, or public ownership is disclosed; revenue, headcount trends, and financials are not publicly reported.
