JIS Orthopedics

What JIS Orthopedics does

JIS Orthopedics (legal name Joint Implant Surgeons, Inc.) is a private orthopedic medical practice founded in 1972 by Dr. Thomas Mallory, who performed the first total hip replacement in Columbus, Ohio at Ohio State University Hospital in 1971. The practice is headquartered in New Albany, Ohio and operates a second clinic in St. Clairsville, Ohio, along with three proprietary ambulatory surgical centers (Cambridge, White Fence, and Walnut Creek Surgical Suites) dedicated to outpatient orthopedic procedures. JIS employs 101-250 staff, including 10 physicians with a combined 150+ years of orthopedic experience, and serves individual patients requiring hip and knee replacement, elbow, hand and wrist, neck and spine, shoulder, sports medicine, general orthopedic, and physical therapy services.

The practice's core offering is a full continuum of musculoskeletal care — from conservative non-surgical treatment through surgery and rehabilitation — delivered under a physician-led, conservative-treatment-first philosophy. Underlying technology is limited to standard orthopedic clinical practice supplemented by patient-facing digital tools (online appointment booking, a patient portal hosted through the OrthoAlliance network, and SMS notifications for scheduling, lab results, and billing). The practice operates as a partner within the OrthoAlliance network, which provides shared back-office, billing, and referral infrastructure.

JIS generates revenue primarily through professional services billed to insurance for orthopedic consultations, diagnostic services, surgical procedures (joint replacements and related interventions), and follow-up care, supplemented by revenue from its ambulatory surgical centers. Go-to-market is direct-to-patient: the practice acquires patients through physician referrals, patient testimonials, online booking, social media presence (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube), educational content marketing, and the OrthoAlliance referral network. The primary customer segment is individual patients with orthopedic conditions affecting mobility, joint pain, sports injuries, or those requiring joint replacement surgery; customer concentration is low, with revenue distributed across a long tail of insured healthcare consumers in Ohio and surrounding Midwest markets.
