Total Joint Specialists

What Total Joint Specialists does

Total Joint Specialists (TJS) is a private, physician-owned orthopedic practice exclusively dedicated to hip and knee replacement surgery, founded in 2018 (originally as Arthritis and Total Joint Specialists, renamed in 2022) and headquartered in Sandy Springs, Georgia. The practice operates as a single-focus service organization rather than a technology platform, delivering the full clinical continuum of joint replacement care — from initial consultation and digital X-ray diagnostics through primary and revision hip and knee replacement, robotic-assisted and computer-navigated surgery, anterior hip replacement, joint injections, nonsurgical pain management, outpatient same-day discharge, and physical therapy — supported by an in-house recovery products store (TJS Recovery Store) and patient portal (MyOneChart). Its care model is built around 16 fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons who limit their practice to hip and knee procedures, with collective procedure experience exceeding 100,000 cases.

TJS generates revenue through fee-for-service professional and facility billing across five streams: surgical procedures (primary and revision hip/knee replacement), office consultations, diagnostic services (digital X-ray), joint injections, and physical therapy. Pricing is quote-based and insurance-dependent rather than publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer — patients self-schedule at 13 clinic locations across the Atlanta metropolitan area and greater Georgia (Alpharetta, Cumming, Canton, Buford, Suwanee, Johns Creek, Lawrenceville, Snellville, Sandy Springs, Marietta, Smyrna, Crabapple, Braselton, Gainesville, Athens/Watkinsville, Ellijay, Midtown Atlanta, Greensboro/Lake Oconee), augmented by a physician referral network and a Northside Hospital affiliation for inpatient and complex oncology reconstruction cases. Four dedicated ambulatory surgery centers (Sandy Springs, Canton, Cumming, Buford) anchor the surgical side of the business and enable the outpatient same-day discharge model that drives short lengths of stay and readmission rates under 1%. The practice is owned by its founding surgeons with no disclosed private equity or institutional capital.
