OUR FOCUS: YOUR EMPLOYEES
Specialty Orthopedic Group (SOG) is the largest and only subspecialized orthopedic group north of Jackson, MS, with eight board-certified/board-eligible orthopedic surgeons and twelve physician extenders (nurse practitioners and physician assistants).
SOG’s state-of-the-art clinic, surgery center, and physical therapy facility in Tupelo, as well as clinic locations in Batesville, New Albany, Oxford, Senatobia, and Starkville, MS, and Hamilton, AL, offer a host of orthopedic treatment options for patients in north Mississippi, west Alabama, south Tennessee, and beyond.
Our fellowship-trained surgeons practice exclusively within their area of subspecialized training, including sports medicine; foot and ankle; hand, wrist and elbow; hip, knee, and total joint; and spine.
This approach leads to better outcomes, improved patient satisfaction, and a quicker return to work for your employees.
