Coastal Orthopedic Associates

What Coastal Orthopedic Associates does

Coastal Orthopedic Associates is a private, multi-specialty orthopedic medical practice founded in 1973 and headquartered in Beverly, Massachusetts. The practice operates three locations across the North Shore region (Beverly, Danvers, and Gloucester) and employs 11-50 staff, including eight physicians covering subspecialties such as joint replacement, hand and upper extremity surgery, spine surgery and interventional spine care, sports medicine, podiatry, and physical/occupational therapy. The practice serves a broad patient base including general adults, children, competitive and recreational athletes, and seniors with degenerative conditions, and claims to have treated over 250,000 patients since founding.

The practice's clinical offering is built around integrated orthopedic care spanning the full episode: conservative treatment, imaging-led diagnosis, surgical intervention (including robotic-assisted hip and knee replacement, anterior approach hip replacement, ultrasound-guided carpal tunnel release via UltraGuideCTR, and minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery), and on-site rehabilitation through its physical and occupational therapy services. Adjacent revenue lines include regenerative medicine (PRP injections), cash-pay services (Radial Pressure Wave therapy, Keryflex nail restoration), injectable therapies (XIAFLEX for Dupuytren's contracture), and durable medical equipment (custom knee braces and orthopedic devices). The technology stack is composed of third-party healthcare SaaS — AthenaHealth for patient portal and online bill pay, Phreesia for self-scheduling, and ViewMedica for patient education video hosting — with no proprietary AI, ML, or software platform disclosed.

Coastal Orthopedic Associates operates a fee-for-service revenue model under the Coastal Orthopedics brand, with most clinical services billed through insurance and select services (RPW, Keryflex, sports physical donations) collected as self-pay or cash. Distribution is regional and multi-channel: in-person visits across three locations, telehealth and phone appointments, online self-scheduling, and community outreach through free educational and screening events. The practice is physician-owned, privately held, with no venture capital, private equity, or institutional investment backing.
