Premier Orthopedic Specialists of Tulsa

What Premier Orthopedic Specialists of Tulsa does

Premier Orthopedic Specialists of Tulsa is a physician-owned, private orthopedic surgery practice headquartered at 2448 E 81st St, Suite 1520, Tulsa, Oklahoma. The practice employs four fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons with subspecialty coverage in foot and ankle (Dr. James Davies), hand and upper extremity (Dr. James Bischoff), shoulder and elbow (Dr. Danya Julson), and hip/knee and general orthopedics (Dr. Scott Plaster), supported by a board-certified physician assistant (Callen Ragsdale) and clinical/administrative staff totaling 11–50 personnel. Surgeons were trained at top-tier institutions including the Hospital for Special Surgery (#1 US orthopaedic hospital per U.S. News & World Report), The Campbell Clinic, and Triangle Orthopaedic Associates, with combined private practice experience exceeding 80 years.

The practice delivers comprehensive surgical and non-surgical musculoskeletal care organized by anatomic service line — ankle, elbow, foot, hand, hip, knee, shoulder, and wrist procedures — including total joint replacement, arthroscopy, ligament and tendon reconstruction, fracture fixation, and carpal/cubital tunnel release. Surgical cases are performed at Oklahoma Surgical Hospital, where Dr. Bischoff is a founding member and Medical Director. The practice recently added Prescribe FIT, a virtual lifestyle health coaching program (nutrition, physical activity, lifestyle modification) covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and most commercial insurers, extending care beyond the in-office episode.

Revenue is generated through fee-for-service patient care: insurance reimbursements (most major plans accepted) and self-pay pricing positioned as more affordable than area peers. Patient acquisition is sales-led, driven primarily by physician and patient referrals, online reviews (rater8, Google, Healthgrades, WebMD, Vitals), and condition/procedure-page SEO. The practice holds no external institutional or PE investors, has no parent company, and operates from a single physical location serving the Tulsa MSA and surrounding Oklahoma region.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• OrthoIndy: Large Indianapolis-based subspecialty orthopedic group operating St. Vincent Joint Replacement Center and the OrthoIndy Hospital; same subspecialty-anchored orthopedic surgery model as Premier but at substantially greater scale and geographic footprint.
• Resurgens Orthopaedics: Large multi-subspecialty orthopedic group in the Southeast (Georgia and surrounding markets); structured as a physician-owned practice offering foot/ankle, hand, shoulder, hip and knee surgery lines closely paralleling Premier's service mix, but at materially greater scale.
• Campbell Clinic Orthopaedics: Memphis-area subspecialty orthopedic group known for hand fellowship training (Premier's Dr. Bischoff trained there) and the single-portal endoscopic carpal tunnel technique; comparable subspecialty orthopedic practice model with academic and research orientation.
• Hospital for Special Surgery: Top-ranked U.S. orthopedic specialty hospital where Premier's Dr. Davies completed his Foot and Ankle Fellowship; benchmark of subspecialty orthopedic excellence and institutional source of Premier's clinical credibility and training pedigree.

Direct peers

• Eastern Oklahoma Orthopedic Center: Regional multi-physician orthopedic group in Tulsa and surrounding Oklahoma markets, and former employer of Premier's Dr. Bischoff; comparable subspecialty orthopedic model and competitive overlap in the same Tulsa metro catchment.
• Tulsa Bone & Joint Associates: Long-standing independent multi-subspecialty orthopedic practice serving the Tulsa, Oklahoma metro — the most direct local competitor to Premier Orthopedic Specialists, offering surgical and non-surgical musculoskeletal care across similar body-part service lines.
• Triangle Orthopaedic Associates: Durham, NC-based subspecialty orthopedic practice group where Premier's Dr. Julson completed her Shoulder and Elbow Fellowship; operates the same subspecialty-anchored orthopedic surgery model, with a fellowship-training platform structurally similar to Premier.
• Advanced Orthopedics of Oklahoma: Oklahoma-based general and subspecialty orthopedic practice group with overlapping foot/ankle, hand, hip, knee and shoulder service lines; competes for the same regional referral base in the Tulsa area.

Others

• US Orthopedic Partners: PE-backed orthopedic consolidation platform that acquires and partners with subspecialty-led independent orthopedic groups like Premier across the Sun Belt; a likely rollup buyer/competitor for Premier as the orthopedic practice-management sector consolidates.
• Oklahoma Surgical Hospital: Physician-owned specialty surgical hospital in Tulsa where Premier's Dr. Bischoff is a founding member and Medical Director, and where Premier surgeons perform their cases — a key operational partner and facility counterparty rather than direct competitor.
