Southeast Orthopedic Specialists Welcomes Patients in St. Augustine as New Clinic Officially Opens

New clinic staffed by a team of board-certified and fellowship-trained doctors and surgeons

AUGUSTINE (Jan. 2, 2025) – The wait is finally over as a new state-of-the-art, comprehensive healthcare clinic called Southeast Orthopedic Specialists – St. Augustine, officially opened its doors today to residents and surrounding communities in St. Johns County.

Located at 45 Groover Loop, St. Augustine, the new 14,500 square foot clinic is staffed by a team of board-certified and fellowship-trained physicians and surgeons, and supported by a team of advanced practice providers who will provide comprehensive orthopedic and spine services in one centralized location. This new clinic will give patients access to the latest advancements in musculoskeletal (MSK) care and providers will be able to manage the entire continuum of care from initial evaluation to non-surgical care, surgery, and recovery.

“It’s exciting to see the first phase of this project come to completion,” said Donnie Romine, CEO of Southeast Orthopedic Specialists, and President of Healthcare Outcomes Performance Company (HOPCo) Southeast Specialty Care Network. “Since 2001, our mission has been to make industry-leading orthopedic, and spine care accessible to Northeast Florida and that’s exactly what we’re doing. We’re proud that we can provide this level of service to the residents of St. Augustine who now have access to leading medical experts and access to a premier destination that offers exceptional MSK care.”

This new clinic is part of a larger construction project that will include two more additional services – the Southeast Orthopedic Specialists Imaging Center which is expected to open in April 2025 and the St. Augustine Ambulatory Surgery Center which is projected to open September 2025. Once fully completed, all three services will be housed in a 37,000 square foot building that is estimated to treat more than 26,000 patients annually.

Romine said, “We want to thank the city of St. Augustine for its support and for welcoming us into the community. We look forward to serving the residents of this area by providing the highest-quality care and service.”
