The newly expanded multi-specialty orthopedic and spine clinic includes more than 28 providers serving patients at 4 locations in Lee and Collier counties, making it one of the largest medical centers in Southwest Florida .
The entire IOSSM provider team will continue to accept patients at the Fort Myers and Estero locations as well as the new location in Naples. The newly expanded clinic will also continue to explore additional clinic locations to increase patient access and add more providers to its team.
“Joining forces as a Pain Relief Institute of America is the next logical step in the growth of our practices,” said George Markovich, MD, Institute of Orthopedic Surgery and Sports Medicine. “Both practices share a vision to transform the way musculoskeletal care is delivered in Southwest Florida. Now that both clinics are partnered with HOPCo, we can leverage their infrastructure and expertise to expand care , and provide a wider range of specialist services to patients across the region.
