Mission Since its founding in 1970, Rothman Orthopaedics has remained steadfast in its mission: to provide communities with high quality, compassionate, and affordable musculoskeletal care that is grounded in evidence-based medicine. This commitment has allowed us to exceed expectations and simultaneously grow into one of the nation’s largest and most respected orthopaedic practices.
As an organization that is focused solely on the treatment of both routine and complex musculoskeletal issues, we devote the entirety of our resources to the development of new treatments, the advancement of clinical care, and the pursuit of excellence in education and research.
A distinguishing feature of Rothman Orthopaedics is our emphasis on specialization both in clinical practice and research. Our joint surgeons focus on joints. Spine surgeons on spines and so on. This practice ensures that our patients receive unparalleled care from a physician who is an expert in their field and who is committed to providing the best outcomes possible. Care is provided in an environment that emphasizes respect and compassion.
Description By nearly any measure, Rothman Orthopaedic Institute, established in 1970, is a world leader in the field of orthopaedics. Year after year, we have been ranked among the nation’s best in orthopaedic providers and the best in Greater Philadelphia, according to U.S. News & World Report. Our “Top Docs” are repeatedly ranked by Castle Connolly for providing superior and affordable orthopaedic care to patients, both locally and nationally.
However, it’s not the size of our staff, the number of offices, or even our surgical volumes of which we are most proud. Instead, we base our success on two things: are we improving our patients’ lives and are they satisfied with our service and care. Achieving these goals requires an unwavering commitment to quality.
As the healthcare industry continues its move from a volume-based system to one based on value, Rothman Orthopaedics has established and maintained a leadership position. For years, we have collected, studied and published our outcomes. We invest millions of dollars per year into our research enterprise, and we continuously ask our patients how we are performing and whether they are satisfied with the care they receive.
The days where we measured quality by “gut feelings” are over. Today, we use data to objectively measure everything from post-surgical infections to patient satisfaction. This collection of facts allows us to identify problems early, make corrections and improve care. Our data-centric approach has been and will continue to be a top priority for our practice.
