Big news! Nine of our orthopedic surgeons and our two anesthesiologists are 2026 Castle Connolly Top Doctors – a distinction achieved by only 7% of U.S. physicians.

Nominations come from other physicians, with only about 72,000 of the nation’s 1.1 million doctors being named Castle Connolly Top Doctors.

This goes to the heart of our approach: a surgeon-led, research-focused team providing cutting-edge care that treats patients like family. You’ll feel that right when you walk in.

Coming Soon: Dr. Michael Meneghini on Becker’s Spine & Orthopedic Podcast

Becker’s Spine Review recently released a preview of Dr. Michael Meneghini’s upcoming podcast episode. Dr. Meneghini, founder and CEO of Indiana Orthopedic Institute, will discuss one of the most important shifts in orthopedics today: the transition from individual autonomy to what he calls “collective autonomy.”

In the preview, he explains why traditional models of physician independence no longer align with today’s healthcare landscape and how team-based, data-driven decision-making is important for sustaining high-quality orthopedic care.
