Fifty years ago Orthopedic Associates of Dutchess County opened its doors in Poughkeepsie, New York to provide our neighbors and the surrounding communities with the most advanced, accessible, and comprehensive orthopedic care under one roof. We are proud to have harnessed the expertise of over 20 specialized physicians to provide services in Adult and Pediatric Fracture Care, Sports Medicine, Total Joint Replacement, Orthopedic Oncology, Spine, Foot, Ankle, and Hand Surgery, as well as Pain Management. Our mission at Orthopedic Associates of Dutchess County is to help our patients maintain an active, healthy lifestyle through surgical and non-surgical orthopedic care in a comprehensive, compassionate, and professional manner. Not only do we offer excellent orthopedic care, we also offer the community MLS Laser Therapy, a non-invasive treatment that assists pain, inflammation, and arthritis and helps patients recover faster after a recent injury or surgery. We also offer a complete range of state-of-the-art imaging and diagnostic services such as X-ray, MRI, and EMG studies, allowing you to receive the care you deserve all under one roof. At Orthopedic Associates we are pleased to offer OrthoExpress. No appointment necessary, walk-in, urgent care services are provided by an orthopedic specialist ready to treat recent injuries. Our providers are dedicated to the care and treatment of the musculoskeletal system. This includes bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, nerves and the spine. As part of our commitment to you, we have imaging and custom bracing services on-site, allowing you to skip the long wait at an emergency room while receiving quality, specialized care under one roof. The Surgery Center at Orthopedic Associates (SCOA) is a state-of-the-art ambulatory surgical facility. SCOA opened in August of 2013 and is fully equipped with four operating rooms.
