What CAROLINA BONE & JOINT SURGERY CENTER, LLC does

Carolina Bone & Joint Surgery Center, LLC is a single-location outpatient orthopedic ambulatory surgery center (ASC) based in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, serving patients throughout Horry County. The facility operates from a campus at 101 Surgeons Drive off Carolina Forest Boulevard and is staffed by 25 employees supported by a network of over 25 participating local physicians and surgeons, including affiliated groups such as Coastal Orthopedics and Coastal Podiatry Associates. Clinical scope covers musculoskeletal surgical care, including hand surgery, knee replacement, hip replacement, and broader bone and joint repairs and replacements, with anesthesia services delivered through a partnership with Lookaway Anesthesia, LLC using board-certified anesthesiologists and CRNAs/AA-Cs.

The center is AAAHC-accredited and markets itself as a lower-cost, higher-convenience outpatient alternative to inpatient hospitalization, supported by a digital layer consisting of a website, patient portal for pre-surgical forms and education, and an educational video library covering outpatient joint replacement procedures. Revenue is generated through professional-services billing to insurance carriers and patients, with in-network participation across major payers including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Humana, Medicare, Medicaid, Tricare, and United Healthcare; out-of-network benefit verification is offered for additional plans. Patient acquisition is driven by physician referrals within the local network, supplemented by direct phone and website contact.

Ownership is physician-led, organized as a private South Carolina LLC with no disclosed private equity, venture capital, or parent-company involvement. Governance is anchored by a Chairman of the Board (Robert S. Leak, a hand surgery specialist), Medical Director (John C. Gayton), Associate Medical Director (David G. Everman), an Administrator overseeing finance and operations (Georgia Kapshuck), and supporting clinical-operations leadership (Director of Clinical Operations, Risk Manager, OR Coordinator). No public financials, funding history, M&A activity, or technology platform beyond basic patient-facing digital tools are disclosed in available sources.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Surgery Partners: Surgery Partners is one of the largest operators of short-stay surgical facilities in the U.S., including a meaningful portfolio of orthopedic-focused ASCs; it is comparable to Carolina Bone & Joint as a multi-site outpatient surgery operator with similar specialty-mix and physician-partnership economics, but at vastly greater scale and geographic reach.
• HCA Healthcare: HCA Healthcare operates a national network of hospitals, freestanding ERs, and ASCs that increasingly compete for outpatient orthopedic volume; comparable to Carolina Bone & Joint because it offers the same outpatient joint replacement and musculoskeletal services but with substantially greater scale, payer leverage, and brand recognition.
• United Surgical Partners International (USPI): USPI, owned by Tenet Healthcare, is the largest ASC platform in the U.S. with hundreds of facilities including orthopedic and multispecialty centers; it is comparable to Carolina Bone & Joint because it runs the same physician-partnered outpatient surgical model, but competes with it at the regional and national level.
• Tenet Healthcare: Tenet Healthcare owns USPI, the largest ASC operator in the U.S., and competes in the same outpatient surgical and orthopedic space as Carolina Bone & Joint, though at much greater scale and with a portfolio that includes both ambulatory and acute-care services.
• Select Medical Holdings: Select Medical operates specialty hospitals, outpatient rehabilitation clinics, and concentration on musculoskeletal and post-surgical care; it is comparable to Carolina Bone & Joint as a specialty outpatient/specialty-care operator with overlapping orthopedic and rehabilitation patient populations, though it is far larger and primarily post-acute.

Regional players

• Prisma Health: Prisma Health is the largest not-for-profit health system in South Carolina, operating hospitals, physician practices, and outpatient facilities across the Upstate and Midlands; comparable to Carolina Bone & Joint as a competitor for the same South Carolina orthopedic patient population, though it operates at far greater scale and geographic breadth.
• McLeod Health: McLeod Health is a regional South Carolina health system anchored in Florence with hospitals and outpatient facilities across the Pee Dee and Grand Strand regions; comparable to Carolina Bone & Joint as a regional competitor for outpatient orthopedic volume in the South Carolina market.
• Novant Health: Novant Health is a regional Southeast health system that operates hospitals and ASCs across the Carolinas, directly overlapping Carolina Bone & Joint's Myrtle Beach/Horry County service area; comparable as a competitor for outpatient orthopedic surgical volume in the same geography, though it is a full-service system rather than a single-site ASC.

Emerging players

• Encompass Health: Encompass Health operates inpatient rehabilitation hospitals and a growing home-health and outpatient segment; it is comparable because its patients overlap heavily with orthopedic surgical candidates (post-joint replacement rehab) and because both companies compete for the same musculoskeletal patient pool, though Encompass focuses on post-acute rather than surgical delivery.
• Concentra Group Holdings: Concentra operates occupational health and urgent care centers across the U.S., serving employer and worker populations that overlap with Carolina Bone & Joint's "athletes and labor field workers" segment; comparable because it captures a share of musculoskeletal injury and orthopedic referrals that might otherwise route to a community ASC.
