TOC has been a part of North Alabama’s Orthopaedic community for more than 45 years, dedicated to providing exceptional orthopaedic health care to our community. Once the merger between The Orthopaedic Center and OrthoSports Athens has been completed, the combined entity, which will continue to carry the name of The Orthopaedic Center (TOC), will have over thirty board certified orthopaedic physicians covering all aspects of orthopaedic care using both surgical and non-surgical treatment methods. The team includes board certified orthopaedic specialists in Joint Replacement, Pediatric, Podiatry, Spine, Sports, and Trauma Orthopaedics as well as Pain Management. Together the merged company will employ approximately 425 people, operate 12 Orthopaedic offices, and 8 Physical & Sports Therapy locations.
This expanded practice will represent the largest orthopaedic, spine and sports medicine group in the state of Alabama. Above all, TOC remains committed to our patients’ personalized care by continually improving access to our various experts. The merger with OSA is a clear example of that commitment. The union will improve TOC’s ability to provide care ranging from preventive orthopaedic care to the latest surgical techniques in a dozen convenient locations throughout our region. And clear communication of current patient information amongst the group’s specialists will be provided by using a shared electronic medical record system across all TOC office locations.
