The Dallas-Fort Worth area will see a significant change in its orthopedic care landscape as five practices merge to form a single, integrated organization. This merger will bring together over 70 physicians and 22 locations, providing a wide range of specialties including orthopedics, spine, sports medicine, joint replacement, hand and upper extremity, foot and ankle, pain management, and physical medicine and rehabilitation.
Details of the Merger
The five entities involved in the merger are partners with United Musculoskeletal Partners. The merged organization, OrthoTexas, will offer on-site physical therapy, X-ray, and MRI at many of its locations. Dr. Manuj Singhal, vice chairman of OrthoTexas and partner at AOA Orthopedic Specialists, views the merger as a new chapter in musculoskeletal care in North Texas, moving away from the past model of independent entities that led to fragmented care.
Dr. Michael Briseño, chairman of OrthoTexas and provider at North Texas Orthopedics & Spine Center, emphasized the benefits of the merger, stating, “Coming together as one group allows us to create a more seamless experience for patients and preserves the culture and clinical autonomy that made each practice successful. By bringing multiple practices into a single organization, we can make orthopedic and spine care more connected, more accessible, and easier to navigate.”
The practices involved include All-Star Orthopaedics, AOA Orthopedic Specialists, North Texas Orthopedics & Spine Center, OrthoTexas, and Orthopedic Associates, each with its own history and specialties. This merger promises to enhance the quality and accessibility of orthopedic care in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
