Our orthopedic and sports medicine practice specializes in joint preservation, sports medicine, and advanced surgical care for the shoulder, hip, and knee. Led by Dr. Frank McCormick, a board-certified sports medicine orthopedic surgeon with extensive experience in both military and civilian settings, our team is dedicated to delivering elite, personalized care.
Dr. McCormick's journey began with treating injured warriors, where he fostered a deep passion for supporting our nation’s heroes in gaining back their movement and mobility while decreasing their pain. In this battlefield arena- results mattered.
Trained and taught at the nation’s premier surgical centers, as well as international training fellowships, he also underwent the same rigorous training and was taught the same methods used by elite fighter pilots to reliably, repeatedly achieve mission success, all the while pushing the envelope of human performance.
Dr McCormick realizes these principles can and should be applied to healthcare delivery. This realization transformed into a lifelong passion to helping people of all backgrounds regain their activity and achieve optimal performance.
Through his military aviation background, Dr. McCormick has integrated a “Fighter Pilot” approach to treat every patient with precision, care, and personalized strategy for both treatment and recovery, ensuring each patient receives the highest level of care.
Dr McCormick and his team recognizes the profound impact injuries and pain can have on your daily life and sense of self. We believe every individual has the right to an active, healthy lifestyle.
We’ve cultivated a proprietary approach using a patient-centric mission; integrating the precision and high-reliability principles used by top fighter pilots coupled with cutting-edge “State-of-the Art” research-based medical techniques.
The result? A systems-based approach proven to minimize surgical risk while maximizing positive outcomes. We prioritize: access, communication, and continuous process improvement. We aim to provide safe, personalized, elevated care plans.
Our patients recognize that Dr. McCormick is a leader in the field of orthopedics. His exceptional background as a clinician, scholar, aviator, researcher and educator provides a comprehensive foundation for providing innovative, evidence-based solutions for hip, knee and shoulder conditions and injuries.
Play a crucial role in our practice and elevating patient care. We aim to drive innovation by pioneering new surgical techniques and technologies, pushing the boundaries of what's possible. Our commitment to evidence-based practice ensures that patient care is grounded in the latest research and best practices. We serve as educators, sharing their knowledge and expertise with the next generation of orthopedic surgeons. Their experience often translates to improved patient outcomes and reduced complications, particularly when handling complex cases that challenge conventional approaches. Beyond the operating room, we aim to shape healthcare policies and guidelines, influencing the broader landscape of orthopedic care. Moreover, our interdisciplinary approach fosters collaboration across medical specialties, promoting a more holistic view of patient treatment.
Plays a crucial role in optimizing our healthcare delivery in clinical settings: we can enhance patient outcomes, improve treatment efficacy, and streamline care processes. Moreover, our research-driven insights enables the development of innovative surgical techniques, advanced rehabilitation protocols, and more effective pain management strategies. This knowledge empowers healthcare providers to make informed decisions, tailor treatments to individual patient needs, and ultimately deliver more precise and cost-effective care. Integrating orthopedic research into clinical practice fosters continuous improvement in patient care, reduces complications, and promotes faster recovery times, thereby enhancing overall healthcare quality and patient satisfaction.
Personalized care delivery within our practice is a patient-centered approach that tailors treatment, enhances recovery, reduces re-injury risk, improves satisfaction, and optimizes performance, ultimately leading to better long-term health outcomes for our athletic patients. Our approach offers significant advantages for our patients, enhancing their overall treatment experience and outcomes: crafting individualized treatment plans that address each patient's unique needs, goals, and athletic pursuits leads to improved outcomes by implementing targeted interventions specific to the patient's condition and sport; By focusing on sport-specific rehabilitation techniques, we can enhance recovery times, allowing athletes to return to their activities more efficiently. Additionally, we develop customized prevention strategies, reducing the risk of re-injury. The collaborative nature of personalized care fosters increased patient satisfaction. Our patients feel more involved in their treatment process, leading to better adherence to rehabilitation programs and ultimately, improved long-term health outcomes. Furthermore, by considering the unique biomechanics of each athlete, we can optimize their performance potential. This comprehensive, individualized approach not only addresses current injuries but also promotes overall athletic health and longevity.
Data-driven decision making in surgery involves the systematic collection and analysis of patient outcomes, procedural data, and clinical metrics to inform our practices and improve patient care. By leveraging our datasets and advanced analytics, we can make more informed choices about treatment options, optimize surgical techniques, and predict potential complications, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes and more efficient healthcare delivery.
Supporting patients in living healthy, active, and autonomous lives through exceptional orthopedic care, surgery and follow through, thereby minimizing risks and maximizing patient outcomes.
To push the envelope in musculoskeletal care by integrating a personalized approach, testing advanced surgical techniques and non-surgical alternatives with precision, accuracy, commitment and the latest technology to empower every patient to live an active, pain-free life.
