WHAT'S THE PROOF?
Excellence in Patient Outcomes
Few physicians, even today, scientifically track and report outcomes of their surgery. We have tracked outcomes on our knee and hip patients as far back as 1991. These outcomes have been reported at national orthopaedic meetings with 100% improvement. We have now expanded this to other areas, eg: spine, shoulder, hand and foot.
Sub-Specialization
Our orthopaedic surgeons focus on one or two areas. This allows them to become real experts. Before agreeing to surgery, ask them, "How many of these do you do?" You have the right to know!
Satisfied Patients
Your best resource here is one of our patients. We regularly track patient satisfaction, both in our office and in the hospital - 98 percent give us a good to excellent rating.
Immediately Available Care
Injured? In pain? Call our Hotline: 1-800-493-4878 immediately. One of our doctors is always available for emergencies. On Saturdays, we have a dedicated walk-in injury care clinic - no appointment necessary.
Cost Effective Care
We have the lowest cost for joint replacements in the state. One insurance company's survey showed that we were the most cost effective orthopaedic surgeons in the state.
Doing it right the first time is cost effective!
BACKGROUND
THE ORTHOPAEDIC AND SPORTS MEDICINE CENTER, LLC was established in 1976. Amongst its founders was the late Dr. Marshall K. Steele, Jr. (the father of Marshall K. Steele, III), who developed his expertise in treating sports injuries as team physician and Chief of Orthopaedic Surgery for the U.S. Naval Academy. The practice has grown steadily, and now offers full spectrum musculoskeletal care:
- Sub-Specialized Orthopaedics
- Physiatry (Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation)
- Rheumatology/Arthritis
- Podiatry
The practice has three offices, each with full radiology facilities. At all locations, patients are provided with on-site parking and easy access.

EMERGENCY CARE
Immediate care is provided to patients without an appointment at the Saturday morning Injury Care clinic in Annapolis (though we do recommend calling first if possible). If people call ahead, we can better determine the seriousness of the injury and provide appropriate advice.
People can come to the Injury Care Clinic and see an orthopaedic specialist when most other medical offices are closed. We can do many things an emergency room can, treating sprains, broken bones, knee problems and injuries to the spine, foot, ankle, hip, shoulder, elbow and hand. Instead of possibly being referred from one doctor to another, an orthopaedic patient only has to see one, which is quicker and less expensive.
ORTHOTICS
Another benefit to patients are the convenient, full-service Orthotics departments at all our locations. Our certified Orthotist works in close conjunction with all our physicians. We also bill your insurance for you as necessary.
WORKERS COMPENSATION
Our physicians schedule Workers compensation evaluations and IME's on a case by case basis.
PHYSICAL THERAPY
We offer physical therapy services to those patients who are in need of specialized PT care. Our dedicated PT programs are located on site in all locations and include:
- Concentrated hand rehabilitation by a certified hand therapist
- Full spectrum spine rehabilitation
- Arthritis / Osteoporosis program
- Total joint rehabilitation
- Advanced sports medicine therapy
- Certified manual therapy
Our therapists bring an exceptionally high level of expertise to our group, and that they are an undoubted asset to our patients.
COMMUNITY SERVICE
Go to an Annapolis High School football game and you're likely to see one fan carrying a medical bag. Visit the Severna Park High School locker room after lacrosse practice and you may find someone other than the coach taping a player's sore ankle.
What started in 1985 as simply providing medical supervision at some football games has grown into a comprehensive community program that includes many of Anne Arundel County's high school sports teams. The doctors, trainers and coaches all benefit from the close working relationship, with the greatest benefit passed down to the players and athletes.
INSURANCE BILLING
The practice has contracted with a wide range of insurance organizations, both Preferred Provider Organizations (PPO's), and Health Maintenance Organizations (HMO's). Click here to see a list of insurance carriers. Call our main office at 410-268-8862 if you have any questions regarding our participation. We also accept Medicare and Medical Assistance and all commercial indemnity programs as well as self-pay patients.
As a service to our patients we do bill their insurance carriers, and our billing representatives are authorized to set up payment plans in appropriate cases.
