Dr. Obermeyer Featured in Becker’s ASC Review on Building an Integrated Orthopedic Practice
Becker’s ASC Review featured Thomas Obermeyer, MD, in a June 17, 2026 article examining how Barrington Orthopedic Specialists expanded while remaining physician-owned. The piece explores why the practice built its care model around reducing handoffs between offices, imaging, surgery, and rehabilitation — so that a patient’s entire episode of care stays within one organization. Dr. Obermeyer discusses why timely access is the first measure of quality, describes the decision to open the practice’s own ambulatory surgery center as the choice that mattered most, and argues that hospital employment and private equity are not the only two options available to independent orthopedic groups.
