Transforming Lives Through Exceptional Orthopedic Care

Transforming Lives Through Exceptional Orthopedic Care

At Orthopedic Institute, our mission is transforming lives through exceptional orthopedic care.  We understand that injuries and pain can make life difficult and keep us all from the activities we love. And we understand that when you are hurt, you need a caring team you can trust.

We strive across our entire organization, from the first phone call to the last therapy appointment to treat each patient as we would want our own family members to be treated. That means delivering exceptional, personalized service while also bringing positive, vibrant energy. Our job is not just to replace a hip or rehab a shoulder or schedule an appointment. Our aim is to inspire individuals to live stronger.

Your stories of living stronger are what drive us.

  • A grandmother able to pick up her grandbaby without pain in her thumb
  • An athlete getting back on the field after a devastating knee injury
  • A mechanic able to work without pain in his neck

Your resilience and perseverance inspire us every day. It is a privilege to partner with you to help you get the relief you need to do the things you love.

Thank you for trusting us with your care!

What It Means to Be a Team

Being a team requires humility and understanding that we cannot solve challenges or do the work alone. Strong teams discover and value the strengths of each team member and leverage those in various roles to accomplish a common goal. That’s what we do at Orthopedic Institute.

So, who exactly is part of our team? Our team extends beyond just Orthopedic Institute employees. Referring providers, chiropractors, employers providing insurance for our patients, work comp case workers, the schools and teams we partner with, and external therapists all have a vested interest in patients overcoming their pain or injuries.

We believe that as we strengthen connections and communication across our team, the patients we serve get better care. Our hope for newsletters, such as this one, is to provide practical tips and helpful information that will be useful as we all strive together to help our patients get relief and get back to the activities they enjoy.

If you have comments or questions you would like us to address, for example: “What is an easy way to tell the difference between hand arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome?” or “How do I know if my patient might benefit from a hip scope?” please let us know.

Thank you for partnering with us to serve our patients.

New Plans to Better Serve Our Patients

Orthopedic Institute Building to Better Serve Population

Orthopedic Institute is continuing its plans to better serve our patients in the year ahead, in more places and more ways.

Orthopedic Institute has purchased land in Tea, South Dakota, and is in the process of building its new 70,000-square-foot clinic and administrative office along the growing 1-29 and West 85th Street corridor.

Steady Growth and Improved Convenience Drive New Location

The new location was born from the Orthopedic Institute’s steady growth in size and scope. Today the practice has 20 physicians and almost 250 employees serving Sioux Falls and 14 satellite locations in SD, MN, and IA. Ground was broken in 2023, with a grand opening planned for 2024.

“We have outgrown our current location. This expansion enables us to meet the increasing demand in the region for expert orthopedic and sports medicine care and non-Orthopedic Institute pain management,” said Orthopedic Institute CEO Lynda Barrie.

“This new facility will provide more clinical space, facilitate expanded state-of-the-art therapy and rehabilitation services, and offer advanced imaging and procedure capabilities. Thus, we will be able to continue providing the most efficient care and extraordinary patient experience for years.”

“Our goal is to help patients overcome their pain or injury to allow them to get back to doing the things they love. We strive to make this process as convenient, personalized, and efficient as possible for our patients,” said Board President and orthopedic hand surgeon David B. Jones, Jr., MD. “We believe this location will provide easy access for our patients from the greater Sioux Falls region and those from surrounding communities.”
