Our Story

There is a simple truth we all see the older we get, LIFE IS HARD. No matter if you are rich or poor, short or tall, we humans all face high levels of stress and hardship navigating this journey we call life. Like so many people in healthcare, our team members went into medicine with one main goal in mind, TO HELP PEOPLE. We believe that if we can make our patient’s overall physical and mental health even just a little bit better, then this career of service is worth every minute.

In 2019, my team and I watched the continued shortcomings in the healthcare industry we all know to be true. It’s too expensive, it’s too slow and not everyone has access to good care. So midway through our careers, we set out to do something about it. We started to build ways to reach patients on their terms, when they need us, where they need us, all at a price they can afford. We realized we help friends and family all the time with good advice and a starting point to fixing their orthopedic problems, without ever seeing them in the office. Thus, MD ORTHO SYSTEMS orthopedic telemedicine was born.

We are disrupting the way healthcare is delivered and have built a digital platform that helps us deliver care to Americans in all walks of life.  We will give you the highest quality, at an affordable cost, care you and your employees need and deserve.  We hope you can join us in our mission to improve health and care for our members like family.
