Frequently Asked Questions
Q How do you select the practices you acquire?
Growth Ortho seeks top-tier orthopedic practices with growth potential. For us, the physicians are the most valuable asset because they will continue to provide the service that we sell. With this in mind, the practices we acquire place the well-being of the patient before profits.
Q Will I have a say in the surgeons that we hire?
Growth Ortho recognizes the importance of physician cohesion within a practice. As part of the control that member doctors maintain over their practices, they are integral when it comes to physician recruitment. We provide the candidates through our superior recruitment system, but you determine who you work with.
Q How does Growth Ortho maintain physician autonomy?
To begin with, physicians will always have the final say when it comes to patients receiving necessary treatment. Additionally, physicians do not have to alter their schedules or increase their work capacity. We believe this is particularly appealing to doctors in the later stages of their careers who would like to spend some time enjoying the fruits of their labor. Existing partners can also help vet new physicians to ensure cohesiveness. Finally, equity holders can help determine which new practices can join the Growth Ortho MSO.
Q What sort of changes does Growth Ortho make?
The most significant changes will be outlined before we close on the acquisition. One of the positive improvements that you can look forward to is an upgrade to facilities, equipment, and processes. By improving patient services and expectations, we can expect growth. There are support functions that can be shared across several practices, reducing the need for extra staffing and facilities. Finally, physicians will be added as your practice requires it. Existing practice physicians will have a say in this process.
Q How is Growth Ortho able to increase profitability?
Because we are able to incorporate your practices into our network, we can remove costly redundancies. In addition, all individual practices can benefit from shared marketing. As a larger organization, we have increased bargaining power and can take advantage of volume buying discounts. We can also assist in accelerating surgeon recruiting to accommodate the influx of new patients.
Q Will my practice name change?
No, our member practices maintain their branding.
