Tallahassee Orthopedic Clinic

What Tallahassee Orthopedic Clinic does

Tallahassee Orthopedic Clinic (TOC) is a physician-owned, private orthopedic medical practice founded in 1974 in Tallahassee, Florida, operating the first orthopedic-exclusive practice in North Florida. The practice employs over 400 staff, including 34 board-certified physicians across fellowship-trained subspecialties (sports medicine, spine, joint replacement, hand/wrist, foot/ankle, trauma, pediatrics, pain management, hip preservation, and regenerative medicine), and serves patients across 10+ clinical locations spanning North Florida and South Georgia. Patient access is enabled through physical clinics, TOC NOW walk-in urgent orthopedic care, TeleOrtho telemedicine, and an online self-serve scheduling platform, with a vertically integrated care model covering diagnosis, MRI/digital X-ray imaging, robotic-assisted surgery (ROSA, Mako), pain management, physical and occupational therapy, and orthotics/prosthetics.

The practice generates revenue through fee-for-service billing across insurance reimbursements (co-pays, deductibles, co-insurance), workers' compensation carriers, and self-pay patients, supplemented by economic interests in two ambulatory surgery centers operated as joint ventures with HCA Healthcare (Spine and Joint Surgery Center, opened February 2025) and Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare (Coastal Tides Surgical Center, opened 2026). Distribution combines direct-to-consumer channels (walk-in clinics, online scheduling, telemedicine) with sales-led workers' compensation and physician referral programs, and brand presence is reinforced through official team physician roles at FSU, FAMU, Tallahassee Community College, and Chipola College plus community outreach via the TOC Foundation 501(c)(3). Technology infrastructure includes a MISYS electronic medical record (implemented 2000, later migrated to athenahealth for patient portal), digital in-exam-room X-ray, fluoroscopic pain management imaging, and an active clinical research program with 50+ published studies and university collaborations. Leadership transitioned in February 2025 with the promotion of long-tenured CFO Kelby H. Tardi to CEO.
