What RESTORE does

Restore Orthopedics & Spine Center is a private, single-location orthopedic and spine specialty practice based in Orange, California, founded in 2015. The practice delivers comprehensive musculoskeletal care across five core service lines — spine surgery (fusion, disc replacement, decompression, kyphoplasty, scoliosis correction), sports medicine (ACL reconstruction, rotator cuff repair, arthroscopy, PRP therapy), joint replacement (robotic-assisted knee, hip, and shoulder), fracture and trauma care, and interventional pain management (epidural steroid injections, nerve blocks, radiofrequency ablation). Care is delivered by 9 board-certified, fellowship-trained specialists covering the full orthopedic sub-specialty spectrum, supported by on-site advanced imaging (digital X-ray, MRI, CT) that enables same-visit diagnosis and treatment planning. The practice also operates a dedicated workers' compensation program and walk-in orthopedic urgent care, and serves patients across Orange County, Los Angeles County, Riverside County, and San Bernardino County.

The business model is professional services fee-for-service, with revenue generated from clinical consultations, diagnostic imaging, in-office procedures, and ambulatory surgical procedures (spine, joint, sports, and trauma). Reimbursement is drawn from major commercial payers (Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, Anthem, HealthNet, Humana, Blue Shield of CA), Medicare, Tricare, and workers' compensation carriers. Go-to-market is primarily referral-driven: the practice maintains a structured physician referral network with a 4-hour acknowledgment / 24-hour scheduling SLA, direct relationships with workers' compensation claims adjusters and employers, urgent care and emergency department partnership programs with closed-loop communication, and a small direct-to-patient channel via organic search, Google reputation (4.4/5 across 312 reviews), and walk-in urgent care. The technology stack includes robotic-assisted surgical platforms with patient-specific pre-operative planning, the eClinicalWorks/Healow EHR and patient portal, Phreesia online scheduling, OBERD online check-in and patient intake, and standard HIPAA-compliant practice management workflows.

Restore is physician-owned with no disclosed venture capital, private equity, or parent company involvement, and has not raised outside funding. The practice is led by CEO and spine surgeon Dr. Gregory Carlson, with the remaining eight specialists covering spine/scoliosis, sports medicine, foot/ankle, general orthopedics/trauma, hand/upper extremity, and two pain management physicians.
