A Revolutionary Vision for Orthopedic Care

After more than 30 years performing orthopedic surgery, Dr. Seth Neubardt recognized a crucial gap in patient care. While orthopedic surgeons routinely prescribe various non-surgical treatments—physical therapy, medications, injections, and more—they rarely guide patients through what research shows to be one of the most effective interventions: weight loss.

The reason was simple: physicians lacked both the time and tools to effectively support patients through successful weight loss. Until now.

​

The Birth of a Breakthrough

The advent of GLP-1 medications has revolutionized weight management, creating an unprecedented opportunity to transform orthopedic care. Dr. Neubardt seized this opportunity to develop Orthopedic Optimization, the first program to combine:

• Physician-supervised GLP-1 medication

• Specialized physical therapy

• Nutritional Counseling

• Advanced body composition monitoring​

• ​

Why We're Different

While other providers offer GLP-1 medications for weight loss, Orthopedic Optimization stands alone in its comprehensive approach to orthopedic health. We recognize that losing weight without maintaining strength can compromise long-term outcomes. Our program uniquely addresses this challenge by combining effective weight loss medication with targeted physical therapy, ensuring you don't just lose weight—you get stronger.

 

Our Mission

We believe many orthopedic surgeries can be avoided through effective weight management and strength building. Our mission is to help patients achieve better orthopedic health through sustainable weight loss while maintaining the strength they need for an active lifestyle.

 

Leadership

Dr. Seth Neubardt brings over three decades of orthopedic surgical experience to Orthopedic Optimization. His vision for combining weight management with orthopedic care stems from years of observing that patients who successfully lost weight often avoided surgery entirely or achieved better surgical outcomes when procedures were necessary.
