What Texas Orthopedics does

Texas Orthopedics is the largest independent orthopedic practice in Central Texas, founded in 1986 and operating as a division of OrthoLoneStar. The practice delivers comprehensive musculoskeletal care across seven clinic locations in the Austin metropolitan area (Northwest Austin, Central Austin, South Austin, Leander, Kyle, Lakeway, and Round Rock), staffed by approximately 40 board-certified physicians spanning orthopedic surgery subspecialties (sports medicine, spine, joint replacement, trauma, hand/wrist, foot/ankle) plus physiatrists, rheumatologists, and advanced practice providers. The clinical platform is vertically integrated: each location offers on-site X-ray, with MRI (American College of Radiology-accredited) and physical therapy at multiple sites, and a Joint Commission-accredited physician-owned ambulatory surgery center founded in 2002 performing outpatient arthroscopy and hip/knee replacement. Additional services include electrodiagnostic testing (EMG/NCS), infusion therapy for autoimmune conditions, and telemedicine via Doxy.me.

The business model is fee-for-service professional healthcare revenue — orthopedic consultations, diagnostic imaging, physical therapy, surgical procedures, and ancillary services — billed through insurance including HMOs that require PCP referrals, with self-pay co-pays and deductibles applying. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is sales-led/direct patient care with same-day appointment availability, online self-scheduling through Radix Health, referral intake through primary care and specialty physicians, and grassroots community engagement (physicians serve as team doctors at Austin-area high school football games and community sporting events). Supporting infrastructure includes Athena Health for patient portal/EMR, Phreesia for online bill payment, One Medical Passport for surgical pre-registration, and the standardized PEP Talk pre-surgical education program for joint replacement patients.

Customer concentration is structurally low: the addressable market is the general public across all age groups — athletes (youth through professional), joint replacement candidates with arthritis, spine patients, rheumatology patients, and trauma/fracture cases — with no enterprise or employer anchor customers. The practice is physician-owned and operated, with no disclosed external private equity or institutional capital, and no subsidiaries. Recent strategic activity has centered on geographic buildout — a new Leander office opened May 2025 and the South Austin office relocated and expanded in April 2026 — alongside service-line additions (infusion therapy, telemedicine) and recognition on U.S. News & World Report's 2026 Best of Ambulatory Surgery Centers list.
