Premier Orthopaedics
Premier Orthopedics provides the highest quality musculoskeletal care in the Philadelphia region. Premier is comprised of 70 top-notch orthopaedic surgeons and physicans. We are the largest specialty group in Pennsylvania. Our specialists range from hand injuries and joint replacements to sports injuries involving the knees and shoulders. In addition to our orthopaedic surgeons, other specialties within our group include physiatry (rehabilitation medicine), rheumatology, primary care sports medicine and podiatry. Our group formed in 2000 with a mission to provide high quality, comprehensive and accessible care to our patients. We have opened 15 physical therapy centers throughout Chester and Delaware Counties where we directly manage the daily operations offering state of the art rehabilitation programs not only for injured athletes and injured workers, but also for anyone with musculoskeletal issues. Our personal oversight ensures that our patients are receiving the exact treatment that we prescribe in a highly professional, caring environment. In addition, we offer a Home Physical Therapy program that has a significant impact on the continuity of care of our patients. Premier also has three MRI locations whose radiologists specialize in the diagnosis of musculoskeletal injuries and ailments. We also offer a Pain Management program and EMG testing. In September of 2007, Premier opened the doors of its new Orthopaedic Urgent Care facility which allows for immediate access to orthopaedic care, reducing time spent in the Emergency Room. For years Premier Orthopaedics physicians have practiced community-based medicine. We’ve put active people back in the game of life…on the playing field…in the schoolyard…at the workplace…and around the neighborhood. We are proud to keep the community on the move!
