Orthopaedic Associates of St. Augustine Announces New Name and Expansion Throughout Northeast Florida
St. Augustine, FL (February 15, 2022) – Orthopaedic Associates of St. Augustine has announced that they will begin operating under the Southeast Orthopedic Specialists’ name as of April 1, 2022. This change comes after Orthopaedic Associates of St. Augustine and Jacksonville-based Southeast Orthopedic Specialists partnered in October of 2021 under the HOPCo (Healthcare Outcomes Performance Company) platform. The newly expanded multi-specialty musculoskeletal care practice includes more than 100 specialists serving patients throughout northeast Florida and southeast Georgia. The practice provides care in 8 locations throughout the region and will be developing additional offices in Duval, St. Johns, Flagler and Clay counties.
The entire provider team, including Dr. Albert Volk, Dr. Kurtis Hort, Dr. Sina Kasraeian, Dr. Paul Rotteges, Dr. Alexander Lampley, and Dr. Casey McClone, will continue to see all current patients and new patients in their offices in St. Augustine, North St. Johns, Fleming Island, Ponte Vedra and Jacksonville.
“We are eager to take the next step in a partnership that will truly transform the delivery of musculoskeletal care in our region,” said Dr. Volk. “Now that we have become fully integrated under the HOPCo platform, we can expand our current service offerings and provide better access to more patients through our merger with Southeast Orthopedic Specialists.”
The newly merged practices will utilize HOPCo’s proven platform to develop sustainable partnerships with other musculoskeletal practices, health systems and payors to improve the quality and reduce the cost of musculoskeletal care, all while providing a better experience and outcomes for patients.
“Orthopaedic Associates of St. Augustine has made an incredible impact on their community over the past two decades and we are excited that we will now be working together as part of Southeast Orthopedic Specialists,” said Gavan Duffy, MD, President of Southeast Orthopedic Specialists. “With the addition of their team, Southeast Orthopedic Specialists is now one of the largest musculoskeletal care platforms in North Florida and is positioned to continue providing the highest quality care for decades to come.”
