74 THE COASTAL BEND MAGAZINE TheCoastalBend.com C o m m u n i t y South Texas Bone & Joint, formerly known as Orthopedic Associates of Corpus Christi, has deep roots throughout the Coastal Bend. With more than half a cen- tury of service and successive generations of practitioners and medical staff, the organization has continued to grow. Its newest expansions include a 39-acre med- ical-centric campus off the Crosstown Expressway near Holly Road in Corpus Chris- ti, along with a new office located at Bay Area Medical Center, Suite 306. These facilities reflect the practice’s commitment to growth and modernized care. The Crosstown campus includes a state-of-the-art clinic, rehabilitation facility, in-house laboratory, and diagnostic x-ray, ultrasound, bone densitometry, and electromyog- raphy (EMG) department designed to provide patients with a streamlined, quali- ty-centered experience. Adjacent to the clinic is an advanced orthopedic surgical center, allowing patients to receive coordinated care from evaluation to surgery to recovery—all in one place. With a team of 15 physicians and 16 advanced practitioners, South Texas Bone & Joint has become the leading sub-specialty orthopedic practice in the Coastal Bend. The practice performs more than 6,000 surgeries each year and treats over 1,500 patients per week, offering a full spectrum of musculoskeletal care—from complex surgical procedures to non-surgical treatments such as physical therapy, orthobiologics, pain management, casting, bracing, and orthopedic trauma care. Each physician is board-certified, fellowship-trained and has completed extensive surgical training beyond medical school to specialize in their specific sub-specialty. South Texas Bone & Joint’s patient-first vision is built around providing a seam- less continuum of care: from initial evaluations and conservative non-surgical treatments to rehabilitative therapy, sports medicine, trauma care, surgery, and post-operative rehabilitation. Patients who seek care here are seen by providers who focus on one or two specific areas of the body, allowing them to offer deeply specialized expertise and targeted solutions for each patient’s pain or injury. In a further commitment to excellence and convenience in patient care, we are pleased to offer the Coastal Bend’s first Priority Care Clinics with walk-in, no ap- pointment required, musculoskeletal-specific care designed with a focus on treat- ing acute orthopedic injuries. Avoid spending your day waiting in an ER and visit South Texas Bone & Joint for Board Certified Sports Medicine Physician care with access to immediate x-ray technology and direct referrals to our surgeons if re- quired. These walk-in clinics are currently located at 5917 Crosstown Expressway SH 286 and 3702 South Alameda Street. Additionally, the professional licensed Physical Therapy team strives for excellence and promotes the highest quality patient outcomes.

Utilizing evidence-based techniques, therapists design specific care plans to help each patient reach their realistic personal goals.
