SMART Spine Institute & Surgery Center

What SMART Spine Institute & Surgery Center does

SMART Spine Institute & Surgery Center is a private, founder-owned multi-specialty musculoskeletal healthcare practice headquartered at 131 E. Huntington Drive in Arcadia, California. Founded by Dr. Richard Sayegh in 1985, the practice operates a single-location integrated care model combining eight service lines: pain management, orthopedics, personal injury care, chiropractic care, sports medicine, regenerative medicine (stem cell and PRP therapy), podiatry, and an on-site Medicare-certified ambulatory surgery center that has been operating since 2011. The clinical team includes board-certified orthopedic surgeons, pain management specialists, a podiatrist, multiple chiropractors, and physical therapy staff, with practitioner tenures ranging from 10 to over 30 years at the practice.

Revenue is generated through a mix of channels: insurance reimbursement from most major PPO plans and Medicare, personal injury lien arrangements with referring attorneys, workers' compensation QME evaluations, and direct cash-pay for non-covered services such as stem cell therapy. Chiropractic sessions are priced at $30-$300 depending on insurance coverage, while PRP procedures are partially covered by Medicare and certain insurances. The practice runs a multi-channel marketing and patient acquisition operation including a website with online booking, Facebook and Instagram presence, an extensive YouTube educational video library, virtual patient education webinars, an SMS-based review system, and physician/attorney referral networks. The business serves the San Gabriel Valley region of California, with reported patient retention signals including out-of-state and international travel for treatment.
