Life at Your Summit
At Summit Orthopedics, our people are at the heart of everything we do. We foster a culture built on collaboration, compassion, and a shared commitment to helping patients return to the activities they love. Life at Summit means meaningful work, supportive teammates, and a purpose that connects us to the communities we serve.
Community At Our Core
At Summit Orthopedics, community is more than a place — it’s a responsibility. Our physicians, care teams, and staff live and work throughout Minnesota and western Wisconsin, creating meaningful connections with the people we serve. From supporting local athletics and schools to participating in charitable initiatives and community health programs, our team is committed to helping our neighbors stay active and healthy. This dedication to people and place is part of what makes Summit such a special organization — one recognized nationally as Newsweek’s America’s Greatest Midsize Workplaces for Culture, Belonging & Community in 2026.
We Are Values-Driven
Everything we do at Summit Orthopedics is grounded in B.O.N.E.S. — the values that shape how we care for you every day. They guide how we listen, how we support one another, and how we deliver thoughtful, high-quality care at every step of your experience.
Our commitment to doing what’s right — for our patients and our communities—has earned national recognition, including certifications from The Joint Commission and specialty distinctions like Certification for Excellence in Shoulder Joint Replacement. While these recognitions matter, what matters most is the trust our patients place in us — and the care we provide every day to earn it.
We Are Locally Rooted
Summit Orthopedics was founded and continues to grow right here in the communities we serve. Our physicians, clinicians, and staff live throughout Minnesota and western Wisconsin, giving us a deep understanding of the people and lifestyles that make this region unique. As we continue expanding with modern, patient-centered facilities — including new state-of-the-art clinics and ambulatory surgery centers like Plymouth Bass Lake — our focus remains the same: delivering exceptional orthopedic care close to home. Being locally rooted allows us to serve our neighbors with care that reflects the values of the communities we share.
B.O.N.E.S.
The Backbone of Our Culture
When things feel uncertain or overwhelming, our values guide every part of your care. They shape how we listen, how we support you, and how we show up at every step of your journey. Because at Summit, it’s not just about clinical expertise—it’s about how you’re treated. That’s what turns care into something more meaningful.
We Take Care of Each Other
At Summit Orthopedics, caring for people starts within our own team. We foster a culture where physicians, clinicians, and staff support one another — because strong teams create better experiences for every patient we serve.
From collaboration across specialties to mentorship and career growth, our environment is built to help people succeed and stay. We invest in our teams, celebrate shared wins, and create space for individuals to grow — personally and professionally — throughout their careers.
We Are Deeply Connected to Our Communities
Our care is not only deeply rooted in Minnesota, but extends across the globe through meaningful partnerships that bring orthopedic expertise to communities in need. Summit Orthopedics is proud to support initiatives like One World Surgery, where our physicians and team members volunteer their time and skills to provide life-changing surgical care in underserved regions.
These efforts reflect who we are at our core — combining clinical excellence with a deep sense of service. Whether caring for patients close to home or contributing to global health initiatives, our team is driven by a shared purpose: improving lives through compassionate, high-quality orthopedic care wherever it’s needed most.
