Restoring Your Quality of Life

Welcome to Excel Orthopedics

Proud to serve the St. Louis and Mid-Missouri markets, we are leaders in the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal injury. And, as specialists in occupational injuries and degenerative conditions, we understand the importance of approaching each case with individual attention. Together with our patients, we work to develop plans specifically designed to get back to the quality of life and activity level they are meant to enjoy.

Our Approach to Patient Care

At EXCEL, we believe that patients deserve the very best in care from both providers and staff and we hold an unwavering commitment to deliver this with each and every patient encounter. To do so, our business has been built around four key areas in which we deliver exceptional value:

Accountability

We hold ourselves to the highest standards in all aspects of practice and believe every component of the care continuum – from intake to release from care – is an opportunity to display excellence.

Communication

If proper lines of communication are not established and maintained, unnecessary delays and disruptions of the care plan may occur; we are outspoken advocates of open lines of communication.

Patients, Families and Agencies need real answers and honest talk from their providers so they can make the decisions best for them and their situation – we put patient needs first.

Authorizations for care depend on proper collection, sharing and filing of critical documents – and collaboration with other care providers also relies on solid record keeping and document management.
