Originally established as a two-physician orthopedic practice
in Kalispell, Montana, in 1971, Flathead Valley Orthopedic Center, PC, has subsequently
expanded to include subspecialty orthopedic care in spine, hand and upper extremity,
sports, foot and ankle, and joint reconstruction. Having relocated to the newly-constructed
Flathead Orthopedic Center in August 2000, Flathead Valley Orthopedic Center,
PC, now offers state-of-the-art management of musculoskeletal problems with
comprehensive care including on-site physical and occupational therapy. Growth
of the surrounding area has led to the addition of satellite clinics in Whitefish,
Libby, and Eureka. Recent development of the clinic as an "orthopedic center
of excellence" has included the expansion of preoperative and postoperative
services, improved efficiencies in hospital care, and increased commitment to
patient education, outcomes research, and customer satisfaction.
