Orthopedic Surgery
Orthopedic surgery is a specialized area of medicine focused on diagnosing, treating, and managing disorders and injuries of the musculoskeletal system—the bones, joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. From childhood through adulthood, our bones and joints support daily activities, and when injury or degenerative conditions occur, they can significantly impact your quality of life.
At Baylor Scott & White Surgicare Oakmont, we are dedicated to providing quality orthopedic care in a comfortable outpatient setting. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, a sports injury, or recovering from trauma, our team creates personalized treatment plans aimed at restoring mobility, reducing pain, and improving function.

- Have ongoing joint pain or stiffness that interferes with daily activities
- Experience swelling, redness, or warmth in a joint or area of fracture
- Suffered a recent injury or fracture that worsens over time
