Glens Falls Hospital is undergoing a major expansion in orthopedic and surgical services for the region.
Privately-owned North Country Orthopedics has joined the Glens Falls Hospital Medical Group and is now an employed physician practice of Glens Falls Hospital, officials said.
The surgeons and physician assistants from North Country Orthopedics will be collaborating with Glens Falls Hospital’s Orthopedic Specialists of Glens Falls.
Members joining Dr. Thomas Varney, and Jordan Haskins, PA-C are Dr. Mark Kircher; Dr. Doug Kirkpatrick; Dr. Andre Johnson; Dr. Adam Brod; Dr. Michael Rozell; Richard Robertson, PA-C; Patrick McDermott, PA-C; James Todt, PA-C; Christopher Stephens, PA-C; Laura Gosnell, PA-C; Jameel Ali, PA-C ; Adria Newberry, PA-C; and Tara Manny, PA-C.
North Country Orthopedics is a well-established group of board certified orthopedic surgeons and allied health professionals, which has been an integral part of our community for greater than 30 years. The fellowship trained surgeons specialize in joint replacement, ACL reconstruction, carpal tunnel release, arthroscopic knee and shoulder surgery, and all aspects of fracture care.
“We are thrilled to have the North Country Orthopedics team join Glens Falls Hospital as employed providers,” said Patti Hammond, vice president for physician practice management of Glens Falls Hospital. “Their expertise and diverse specialties will allow us to enhance the orthopedic and surgical services available in this region.”
This team offers sub-specialty trained care in hand, wrist, shoulder, sports medicine, and general orthopedics allowing for an elevated patient experience right here in the North Country.
Caring for patients of all ages, they also offer a walk in clinic for acute injuries allowing patients to see a dedicated orthopedic specialist for immediate treatment. North Country Orthopedics offers both non-operative treatments as well as surgical services to ensure that patients are receiving the most comprehensive and individualized care available.
“We are happy to join the Glens Falls Hospital team and look forward to providing locally based, sub-specialized care in the new state-of-the-art 14 Hudson facility,” said the members of North Country Orthopedics in a statement.
North Country Orthopedics will continue to practice at its current office at 25 Willowbrook Road, Suite 2, in Queensbury. In mid-2019, they will be relocating to Glens Falls Hospital’s new 14 Hudson location in Glens Falls and become part of the integrated Surgical Specialists of Glens Falls Hospital team.
Officials said at that time, Surgical Specialists of Glens Falls Hospital will expand to include orthopedics, general surgery, urology, and thoracic services all in one convenient location.
Glens Falls Hospital maintains a service area that spans 6,000 square miles across five diverse counties. Founded in 1897, the hospital today operates an advanced health care delivery system featuring more than 20 regional facilities including 9 specialty practices and 10 primary care centers.
