Our Story Our Mission

Medical Orthopedic Management (MOM) was created with a clear mission: to give physician practices access to the kind of leadership, strategy, and structure usually reserved for large organizations—without the burden of a full-time executive salary.

Too often, practices face a gap. They need seasoned guidance to navigate complex regulations, strengthen operations, and position themselves for growth, yet they cannot justify hiring a full-time COO or senior administrator. MOM bridges that gap by delivering executive-level expertise in a flexible, scalable way.

Our guiding principles are simple but powerful:

  • Build with Purpose: Every practice deserves a roadmap that aligns vision with execution.

  • Lead with Care: Like the name “MOM” suggests, we believe in a nurturing but disciplined approach—supporting practices while instilling accountability and results.

  • Focus on Growth: From compliance and operations to strategy and culture, our goal is to create strong foundations that allow practices to thrive and expand.

  • Empower People: True success comes from engaged teams and leaders who feel supported, mentored, and equipped to deliver excellence.

At MOM, we don’t just manage practices—we help them grow, strengthen, and flourish.

Our Inspiration

MOM was born from a simple truth: most medical practices need high-level leadership, but few can afford a full-time executive.

Throughout my career, I met countless physicians who said, “We’d love to have someone like you—but we can’t afford a full-time COO.” Yet, they described exactly the kind of operational, compliance, and growth challenges I could solve.

That pattern sparked an idea: what if I could provide the same expertise and structure that large healthcare organizations rely on, but in a fractional, results-focused model?


That’s how Medical Orthopedic Management was created — and the name “MOM” came from my son, who instantly recognized how well it reflected the nurturing yet disciplined leadership style that defines my work.

Successfully prepare for and achieve private equity acquisitions

This isn’t new work for me — it’s what I’ve done for decades. What’s new is the model: bringing the same knowledge, systems, and results to multiple practices as a consultant rather than as an employee.

Why MOM?

The name MOM is intentional. I take a hands-on, nurturing, but disciplined approach — treating each practice as if it were my own. My role is to support, not replace existing leadership teams, giving them the tools, systems, and guidance to thrive.

By choosing MOM, practices get:
