Today I'm launching Wilco Arthritis Institute, a concierge practice for hip and knee arthritis.
I have been fighting for years to preserve physician reimbursement. The system won't listen. I've watched falling reimbursement reward volume over quality. Patients feel it: rushed visits, long waits, and bills no one can explain.
I've decided to break that cycle. At Wilco Arthritis Institute, I seek to provide unhurried conversations, transparent pricing, and care designed around outcomes and patient experience, not a billing code.
This is joint replacement care the way it should be.

I am so proud to be a member of @AAHKS. We met with multiple members of Congress, CMS and HHS to stop the cuts to the physician fee schedule that will limit access for Medicare beneficiaries, increase consolidation, and drive up healthcare costs. Here’s to the bipartisan letter!

@AAHKS_YAG and @AAHKS member @sengstrommd showing his support to @DrMannySenate. No doubt other members of @tennessee_ortho were there supporting as well @AAOSAdvocacy
Fantastic meeting of the Williamson County Medical Society listening to Vanderbilt doc and US Senate Candidate @DrMannyHT share his vision for a better Tennessee. He will be a great advocate for orthopaedic surgeons and all physicians in Washington! @AAHKS_YAG @AAHKS @tnmed

"It was a great opportunity for AAHKS to have a seat at the table." AAHKS President Michael P. Bolognesi, MD and Adolph “Chick” J. Yates, Jr., MD talk about the future of APMs with CMS/CMMI. #NOLC2019 @AAOSmembers @M_BolognesiMD
