BIRMINGHAM — OS1 Orthopedic & Sports Injury Clinic, a full-service, walk-in, orthopedic clinic, recently announced their second location which will open in March 2024 at the Pinnacle in Trussville. The first location of the practice opened in Hoover in the summer of 2020.
“We are eager to bring our full-service orthopedic clinic to Trussville, offering a comprehensive suite of services that cater to the diverse orthopedic needs of the community,” said Dustin Taylor, President & CEO at OS1. “OS1 looks forward to serving Trussville and the surrounding communities with the same dedication to unparalleled service and quality that has defined our reputation.”
The concept of a walk-in clinic is not new nationally but was not well known in the area before OS1 opened in Alabama. However, the advisory board consists of a group of doctors from one of the most renown names in the industry, Andrews Sports Medicine.
OS1 distinguishes itself from traditional emergency rooms and urgent care clinics by focusing on a wide range of technology-based services, including sport and injury assessments, ultrasound guided injections, Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy (PRP), and on-site x-ray and MRI services. The clinic is designed to meet the needs of patients needing prompt care for sports-related and orthopedic injuries. The clinic also offers sports physicals for aspiring athletes.
The business model was carefully developed through a collaboration of entrepreneurs, healthcare leaders and IT experts including founder Bill Dexheimer, who continues to serve as Chairman of the board of OS1 Holdings, Inc. Another name familiar to the area, Dr. Bruce Irwin, founder of American Family Care, was a founder OS1 and served on the board until his death last year. Randy Johansen, President of American Family Care, currently serves on the board.
OS1 Holdings, Inc., through OS1 Management, LLC, is an Orthopedic Urgent Care Management Company, partnering with Physician owned practices, to bring OS1 Sports Injury Clinics to communities across the country.
The Trussville clinic is the second of several planned clinics for OS1, according to Orthopedics This Week magazine. Current plans include opening three clinics a year.
The new OS1 Orthopedic & Sports Injury Clinic in Trussville is located a few doors down from Belk, at 5006 Pinnacle Square, Suite 106, Trussville, AL 35235. For more information, please visit www.bettersooner.com.
