KSF Orthopaedic Center

What KSF Orthopaedic Center does

KSF Orthopaedic Center is a private orthopedic and sports medicine practice based in Houston, Texas, founded around 1979 and serving the North Houston market for more than 45 years. The practice is staffed by eight board-certified orthopedic surgeons and a pain medicine/anesthesiologist, supported by physician assistants and licensed physical therapists, and operates four clinical sites across Willowbrook, Springwoods Village (clinic and dedicated physical therapy center), and Red Oak. Its clinical portfolio spans sports medicine, knee, hip, shoulder/elbow, hand/wrist, foot/ankle, back/spine, chronic pain management, MRI diagnostics, and surgical services — leveraging minimally invasive techniques, arthroscopy, robotic-assisted joint replacement, and direct anterior total hip replacement.

The practice generates revenue through professional medical services billed to patients and their insurance carriers, accepting most major commercial and government plans (including Aetna, BCBS-TX, Cigna, Humana, Medicare, United HealthCare, Wellcare, Ambetter, and others) and collecting co-pays, deductibles, and co-insurance at the point of service. Patient acquisition runs through physician referrals, online find-a-doctor and scheduling tools, insurance network participation, and long-standing community reputation. KSF operates within the Tenet Healthcare / Tenet Physician Resources network and maintains strategic relationships with TOPS Surgical Specialty Hospital, United Surgical Partners International (USPI), Baylor College of Medicine, and the University of Texas at Houston, as well as sports medicine affiliations with the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo and the Justin Sports Medicine Team.
