Optim Orthopedic
Outpatient and Inpatient Orthopedic Care
Optim Orthopedics focuses on bone, joint, spine and muscle care and complex surgical procedures including total joint (hip and knee) replacements and spinal operations. Our philosophy is a physician-owned practice that include an ambulatory surgery center and key hospital affiliations where patients experience superior service, safety and patient satisfaction because physicians are involved in every aspect of your care.
Our physician-owned hospital, Optim Medical Center-Tattnall, and 23-hour ambulatory surgery center, Optim Surgery Center, provide award-winning, world-class care as Orthopedic Centers of Excellence. Optim Medical Center-Tattnall offers inpatient care for patients undergoing a more invasive procedure, such as a disc replacement, spinal fusion or total joint replacement. Both facilities offer complete outpatient care for procedures requiring stays of 23 hours or less.
