The former Webster Group, now a part of GSOS, was established in 1939. GSOS was established in 2022, joining the expertise and resources of Muir Orthopaedic Specialist, Webster Orthopedics, and OrthoNorCal under one name. "Seeing an improvement in our patient's quality of life is why we all do what we do at GSOS," she adds. With a wide breadth of knowledge and expertise among its more than 50 physicians, GSOS can treat orthopedic injuries and conditions from neck to toe and from the mildest sprain or strain to complex spine and joint problems. The facilities and equipment make patients' visits convenient and treatments more effective. Meanwhile, GSOS is continually improving the technologies to improve services and communication. GSOS surgeons are extending their use of robotic surgical devices for precise alignment of knee replacements. Surgery is not the only option at GSOS. Non-surgical treatment for bone and soft tissue injuries including physical therapy, injections, and a physician-supervised weight loss program, LeanMD, are also available. The GSOS team is most proud of "establishing a complete continuum of care for all types of orthopedic problems and for all types of people," adds Barton, which takes them from an initial visit through imaging, treatments, and surgery (if needed) to physical therapy. Fun facts at GSOS: • The Sports Medicine Doctors are the team physicians for the St. Mary's College Gaels in Moraga, a high-level college sports team that needs the best sports medicine team. But you can be an elite athlete to receive their care and attention. • A specialty urgent care center in Walnut Creek, "Orthopedic Express," is a walk-in care clinic for orthopedic pain and injuries. No appointment is needed. • GSOS trauma surgeons are also working in the emergency room. • A new foot clinic headed by Podiatrist Dr. Ross Talarico will also open in Walnut Creek. • The Pass-To-Play concussion testing event for high school sports will return in mid-2023.
