What Pinnacle Orthopedic & Spine Specialists does

Pinnacle Orthopedic & Spine Specialists is a physician-owned, multi-location orthopedic and physiatry practice headquartered in Buffalo, New York, founded in 2006 by three surgeons (Dr. Cameron Huckell, Dr. Graham Huckell, and Dr. A. Marc Tetro) who relocated from Simmons Orthopedic & Spine. The practice delivers full-service musculoskeletal care including spine surgery, hip and knee replacement, shoulder surgery, hand and wrist microsurgery, sports medicine, interventional pain management, physical therapy, occupational therapy, certified hand therapy, work conditioning, and functional capacity evaluations. On-site diagnostic capability is provided through digital X-ray integrated with an EMR and PACS image storage system, allowing immediate imaging feedback during patient visits.

The business operates on a professional services revenue model, billing third-party payers including private insurance (Highmark BCBS, Independent Health, Univera, MVP, GHI/Emblem, United Healthcare, Empire Plan), Medicare, Tricare, Workers' Compensation, and No Fault insurance. Two patient segments are treated as primary: Workers' Compensation cases and No Fault auto-accident cases, supported by a referral network of hundreds of collaborating physicians and direct phone scheduling. The practice employs 40+ FTEs across four Western New York locations (downtown Buffalo, Orchard Park, Lockport, Williamsville) with 130+ parking spots at the flagship 30,000 square foot Michigan Avenue facility. Leadership comprises CEO Brent Boeing (MBA), Clinic Manager Paula Maitland, and a physician roster that has grown from three founders to seven or more Board Certified specialists.

Operationally, the practice has pursued a steady multi-site expansion strategy, opening Orchard Park in 2021 and adding Lockport and Williamsville in 2023, each co-located with complementary providers. The company is privately held, HIPAA-compliant, and has no disclosed institutional ownership, funding rounds, or external capital structure.
