TOC Opens New Athens Location

The Orthopaedic Center (TOC) announces the opening of our new Athens location in the brand new Athens Surgery Center at 22454 US Hwy 72, Athens, AL.

The new, larger facility allows us to bring both the TOC Athens Orthopaedic practice and TOC Physical Therapy services under one roof. We will be able to offer additional resources to patients in the expanded space, and the new, combined location makes it even more convenient for members of our community to be united with experts in orthopaedic care.

Drs. Patrick Boyett, William Lawrence, Eric Stanford, Blake Boyett, and Jason Hatfield cover all aspects of orthopaedic care using both surgical and non-surgical treatment methods. The team includes Joint Replacement, Spine, Sports, Hand, Hip, Knee, and Shoulder orthopaedic specialists.

TOC is thrilled to be a part of the new Athens Surgery Center. The three-story medical office building is part of the Athens-Limestone Hospital’s Medical East campus near the U.S. 72/Interstate 65 junction in Athens, and it is part of the Huntsville Hospital network. The state-of-the art building includes an outpatient surgery center with six operating rooms, imaging and laboratory services, a retail pharmacy, and physician office space. TOC Athens Orthopaedic Office and TOC Physical Therapy are located on the second floor of the Surgery Center.

TOC has been a part of North Alabama’s Orthopaedic community for the past 20 years. We remain committed to our patients’ personalized care by providing exceptional orthopaedic health care and continually improving access. TOC has 12 Orthopaedic offices, and 8 Physical & Sports Therapy locations.
