“It has been an honor and pleasure to serve the citizens of Southwest Georgia in providing orthopedic and musculoskeletal care. It is with great sadness that we will not be able to continue to do so,” a post on the practice’s Facebook page reads. 

On Jan. 10, the practice stopped seeing new patients and will end all surgeries on Jan. 30, according to the report. 

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
