Nova Ortho and Spine

What Nova Ortho and Spine does

Nova Ortho and Spine is a private, for-profit network of orthopedic and spine specialists headquartered in Fort Pierce, Florida, founded in 2018. The company provides surgical and non-surgical treatments for orthopedic and spine conditions and operates with a headcount of 11–50 employees. Its business model is that of a single-specialty clinical practice delivering fee-for-service care to patients; however, no specific pricing, payor mix, or service-line detail is disclosed in available sources.

The company operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cardiff Lexington, a holding/investment company that owns it as part of its healthcare portfolio. Through this parent affiliation, Nova Ortho and Spine has pursued inorganic and organic expansion: in February 2026 it announced new healthcare hires tied to a stated growth strategy, and on June 29, 2026 it acquired Southeastern Surgery Center for an undisclosed amount, extending the business from a clinical practice into ambulatory surgical facility ownership. No products, technology stack, integrations, customer/patient segments, distribution channels, leadership roster, or certifications are documented in the available data, which materially limits visibility into the operating business.

Given the absence of disclosed revenue, pricing, patient volume, or payor data, the financial profile of the practice cannot be quantified with precision. The principal identifiable strategic direction — a roll-up posture supported by a holding-company parent, with both hiring buildout and one disclosed tuck-in acquisition in early/mid 2026 — points to a deliberate, small-scale expansion phase rather than any articulated pivot, restructuring, or large-scale rollout.
