Sierra Pacific Orthopedics

What Sierra Pacific Orthopedics does

Sierra Pacific Orthopedics (SPOC) is a private, multi-subspecialty orthopedic medical group founded in 2002 and headquartered in Fresno, California, serving the San Joaquin Valley and Central California. The practice operates three campuses — Herndon (primary), Spruce (dedicated Spine Center), and Clovis — and employs 30+ physicians including fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons, board-certified specialists, and physician assistants across subspecialties such as joint replacement, spine, sports medicine, hand, shoulder, foot/ankle, and physical medicine & rehabilitation. SPOC also operates a wholly owned surgical facility, Summit Surgical, and a 15,000-square-foot physical therapy facility with an indoor hydrotherapy pool and Biodex System 3 equipment.

The practice's core technology stack includes a General Electric 1.5 Tesla short-bore MRI with PACS image management, digital X-rays, arthroscopy and minimally invasive surgical techniques, AANEM-accredited electrodiagnostic testing, and Class IV laser therapy. Service delivery combines in-clinic care, walk-in Orthopedic Urgent Care at two campuses (Monday-Friday plus Saturday at Herndon), and telemedicine video visits via Zoom. A wellness line — Longevity Medicine, IV Fluid Therapy, Mental & Sports Performance Counseling, Women's Hormone Health, and Laser Therapy — extends the offering into preventive and lifestyle health.

SPOC generates revenue predominantly through insurance reimbursements (Medicare, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, Premera Blue Cross, Regence, and others) for surgical, imaging, and rehabilitation services. A secondary cash-pay revenue stream comes from Whole Body MRI scans priced at $2,000-$4,000. Patient acquisition is driven by physician referrals, sports team partnerships (Fresno State, Fresno City College, Fresno Pacific, Clovis Unified, PGA Tour), patient testimonials, and direct walk-in urgent care. The group is physician-owned and affiliated with Santé Foundation Medical Group; it does not appear to have institutional or private equity backing.
