OA specialty centers include Hand, Spine, Joint Replacement, Trauma and Fracture, Foot and Ankle, and Sports Medicine. Our orthopedic specialty centers are supported on-site in our MRI Center, Surgery Center, and Physical Therapy Center. Our experience allows us to utilize our detailed medical knowledge to diagnose and treat your orthopedic medical conditions and injuries quickly and cost-effectively. Whether you're an elite athlete with a serious injury or a writer with carpal tunnel pain, the OA team will help you return to an active lifestyle quickly and safely.

Founded in 1982, OA offers the best patient experience and comprehensive care under one roof. OA sees over 50,000 patients a year in our Portland, Maine center and supporting satellite centers in Windham, Yarmouth, and Scarborough. That means OA performs more orthopedic procedures than any other practice in Maine, including some of the most advanced procedures in the nation, such as minimally invasive anterolateral total hip surgery; the "24-hr Total Hip."

We understand that when you are injured or ill you want the best care available. OA is deeply committed to the best possible outcomes to improve our patients' quality of life.
