Southern California Orthopedic Institute

What Southern California Orthopedic Institute does

Southern California Orthopedic Institute (SCOI) is a private, physician-owned orthopedic specialty practice founded in 1970 and headquartered at 6815 Noble Avenue in Van Nuys, California. The practice provides comprehensive orthopedic care across seven locations spanning Southern California — Van Nuys, Bakersfield, Simi Valley, Westlake, Valencia, Beverly Hills, Burbank, and Porter Ranch — and serves both adults and children presenting with bone, joint, muscle, musculoskeletal, and spinal conditions. Service lines include joint replacement (with Blue Distinction Center+ designation for hip replacement), pain management, pediatric orthopedics, physical medicine and rehabilitation, and sports medicine, delivered by specialty-trained physicians supported by approximately 101-250 employees.

SCOI's care delivery model combines outpatient physician consultations across its clinic network with surgical procedures performed at its affiliated Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs), and includes certified capability in robotic-assisted surgery (SRC Surgeon of Excellence). The practice is affiliated with UCLA Health, utilizing the myUCLAhealth MyChart patient portal for medical records access, appointment scheduling, bill pay, and prescription management — integrating SCOI into the broader UCLA Health IT ecosystem. Quality credentials include Blue Distinction Center+ for hip replacement, Joint Commission Advanced Certification in Total Hip Replacement, SRC Surgeon of Excellence for joint replacement and robotic surgery, Castle Connolly Top Doctors, Super Doctors, and Healthgrades Outpatient Excellence Awards.

The business operates on a fee-for-service medical practice model, with revenue derived from clinical consultations, surgical procedures (including joint replacements and robotic-assisted cases), rehabilitation services, and ancillary services delivered through its ASCs. Patient acquisition relies on physician referrals, geographic accessibility across its seven-clinic footprint, insurance network participation, and direct patient outreach through its website (scoi.com), educational content, and email newsletter. SCOI also serves as a teaching institution, positioning itself as an educator of orthopedic surgery techniques to surgeons globally. Ownership is consistent with an independent physician-owned practice; no parent company, PE/VC investment, or public listing is disclosed.
