Overview

Our Mission

To provide the best patient experience in the industry.

The History of Ortho Rhode Island

Ortho Rhode Island was born in 2015 out of the consolidation of Foundry Orthopedics, South County Orthopedics, and West Bay Orthopedics, driven by a team of like-minded physicians, some of whom had trained together at Brown University. Together, they realized a vision of a fully integrated, independent, and physician-owned group committed to a one-of-a-kind patient experience in orthopedics. Since then, Ortho Rhode Island has grown into a leader in orthopedic innovation, including its pioneering role in bringing robotic-assisted surgery to the region, and constructing its state-of-the-art Warwick Campus and Surgery Center in 2021.
