Bienville Orthopaedic Specialists

What Bienville Orthopaedic Specialists does

Bienville Orthopaedic Specialists is a private, multi-subspecialty orthopedic medical practice headquartered in Gautier, Mississippi, founded in 1981 by Dr. John Drake. The practice delivers comprehensive musculoskeletal care — including general orthopedics, sports medicine, joint replacement, spine surgery, hand and upper extremity care, foot and ankle care, pain management, physical therapy, and podiatry — across 7 clinic locations spanning the Mississippi Gulf Coast and South Alabama, supplemented by an AAAHC-accredited ambulatory surgery center (Bienville Surgery Center) and 2 privately owned MRI centers. The patient base is overwhelmingly direct-to-consumer individuals, augmented by a dedicated workers' compensation program serving employers and insurance carriers.

The practice operates an integrated care model that spans diagnosis (in-house MRI and digital X-ray), surgical intervention (including robotic-assisted procedures via Stryker Mako for hip/knee replacement and Globus Medical ExcelsiusGPS for spine — the first ExcelsiusGPS site in Mississippi), advanced regenerative treatments (PRP and Hyaluronic Acid injections), and rehabilitation (physical and occupational therapy). Specialty technology includes Arthrex endoscopic spine surgery (newly launched in 2026) and 4K surgical video in the ASC operating rooms. The company employs 300+ staff, including 19 board-certified, fellowship-trained physicians and 18 mid-level providers, and holds professional affiliations with the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, regional health systems (Singing River, Memorial, Merit Health Biloxi), and sports organizations (Mississippi Seawolves, Biloxi Shuckers).

Revenue is generated through fee-for-service patient care across multiple streams: office visits, imaging (MRI and X-ray), outpatient surgical procedures at Bienville Surgery Center, physical and occupational therapy, interventional pain management, workers' compensation evaluations and treatment, orthobiologics, and durable medical equipment. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, supported by an SEO-structured website organized by body part and specialty, active social media (Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram), patient testimonials, community sponsorships, and a walk-in Ortho Urgent Care at two locations. Bienville is a member practice of the U.S. Orthopaedic Partners (USOP) multi-state network and is led by CEO Lee Bond, appointed in 2023.
