Coastal Orthopedics

What Coastal Orthopedics does

Coastal Orthopedics & Sports Medicine is a private, single-location orthopedic and sports medicine practice headquartered at 14 Thomas Point Rd, Brunswick, Maine, serving Midcoast Maine (Brunswick, Bath, Topsham, Freeport, Yarmouth) for over 20 years. The practice operates as an integrated musculoskeletal care delivery system spanning four service lines: orthopedic surgery and sports medicine (including UltraGuide CTR carpal tunnel release, musculoskeletal diagnostic ultrasound, and calcific tendinopathy barbotage), regenerative medicine (PRP therapy, MLS Class IV laser therapy, and Regenexx-licensed bone marrow concentrate and super-concentrated platelet procedures), physical therapy (concussion management, golf evaluation, dry needling, vestibular and post-stroke rehabilitation, workers' compensation), and performance services (a 10,000 sq ft Coastal Performance Training Center offering personal training, massage therapy, and field rental). Key clinical technology is ultrasound-guided procedural medicine, supported by FDA-cleared MLS laser equipment and access to proprietary Regenexx lab processing protocols.

The practice employs 11-50 staff including fellowship-trained, board-certified physicians (Dr. Stephen Katz, Dr. Michael Kulju, Dr. Brian Abbott), a nurse practitioner (Karmen Blackstone), and a bench of 10+ named physical therapists and PTAs led by Patrick Nelson, one of only four board-certified sports physical therapy specialists in Maine. The clinical team has served as team physicians for local high schools and previously for Auburn University, USA Hockey, USA Boxing, and other professional and collegiate programs.

Revenue is generated through two parallel streams: insurance-billed standard orthopedic, sports medicine, and physical therapy services (the practice works with most insurance plans), and self-pay regenerative medicine procedures (PRP, BMAC, prolotherapy, adipose graft, OMM, nerve hydrodissection) that are HSA/FSA eligible with superbills generated for patient reimbursement submission. Patient acquisition relies on a website with service-specific landing pages and inquiry forms, social media presence (Facebook, Instagram), email/newsletter marketing, physician and athletic trainer referrals, and community sports coverage. Ownership is physician/founder-controlled with no disclosed parent company, private equity backing, or institutional investment.
