[Austin/Dallas/Houston/Tyler, Texas] – Six of the most well-known, respected, and long- established orthopedic group practices in Texas have announced their launch as OrthoLoneStar, a single combined group practice in 2021. W.B. Carrell Clinic and Texas Orthopaedic Associates from Dallas, Fondren Orthopedic Group and Advanced Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine from Houston, Texas Orthopedics, Sports and Rehabilitation Associates from Austin, and Azalea Orthopedics from Tyler/East Texas are the founding divisions of OrthoLoneStar. Building on a legacy of independent private practice, the surgeons and physicians of the founding divisions believe that continuing a tradition of physician led healthcare depends on strength among and within provider groups.
“Azalea Orthopedics strives to be at the forefront of the medical industry. We are excited to join the most respected, like-minded groups in Texas”, says Azalea Orthopedics’ President and Spine Surgeon Michael Russell, M.D. “This partnership will provide more resources, enhanced communication, greater access to information and patient-centered opportunities for our patients.” Dr. Russell continues, “this partnership is 100% physician-led, and will always lead a patient-first approach.”
