Campbell Clinic Orthopaedics, the largest and oldest multi-specialty orthopaedic practice in West Tennessee, has announced a partnership with Tier 1 Orthopedic and Neurosurgical Institute headquartered in Cookeville, Tennessee. As part of the alliance, Tier 1’s orthopaedic physicians will have access to Campbell Clinic’s clinical research as well as its care team’s best practices, standard approaches and clinical processes, all of which are designed to improve patient outcomes.

Tier 1 is comprised of 11 physicians. The practice offers a full range of multi-specialty orthopaedic and neurological services and has locations in Cookeville and Crossville and serves residents in the Upper Cumberland region of Tennessee.

“When looking for a partner, we focused on finding an institution that shares our commitment to providing the highest quality care and leading-edge orthopaedic expertise,” said Dr. Greg Roberts of Tier 1. “Most importantly, we aimed to align with a group whose dedication to patients has been unwavering during the challenging healthcare climate. There is no one better than Campbell Clinic that checks all those boxes.”

Campbell Clinic is equally as enthusiastic about the new alliance.

“Tier 1 is a natural fit for our organization as their values and commitment match our own,” said Daniel Shumate, CEO of Campbell Clinic. “They are the ideal candidate as we grow our practice area to embrace our partners in east Tennessee and beyond. We’re excited to welcome their more than 100 new employees to the Campbell Clinic family.”

Campbell Clinic is already the largest multi-specialty orthopaedic clinic in West Tennessee, North Mississippi, and West Arkansas. The partnership of Tier 1 brings the total physician count of Campbell Clinic to 62, further bolstering the clinic’s position as the industry leader in the Mid-South.

“This is all about improving patient care,” says Dr. Frederick Azar, Campbell Clinic’s Chief of Staff. “When you come to one of our clinics, you’re receiving more than just orthopaedic expertise. You are receiving the best possible care from our world-class experts. On behalf of the physicians at Campbell Clinic and the patients we are privileged to serve, we feel very blessed to have the team at Tier 1 join ours.”
