Orange County orthopaedic group with six offices including Fountain Valley, 15 surgeons, on-site therapy and imaging, and regenerative medicine among its services.
South County Orthopedic Specialists, often shortened to SCOS, is an orthopaedic surgery and sports medicine group in Orange County, California. It operates six offices - Fountain Valley, Laguna Woods, Irvine, Los Alamitos, Placentia and Yorba Linda - and the website refers to the group celebrating 50 years of orthopaedic care.
Fifteen physicians are listed, each with a stated area of focus: hip and knee replacement, sports medicine and arthroscopy, spine surgery, shoulder and elbow surgery, hand and upper limb surgery, and foot and ankle surgery. The group has physical therapy and hand therapy on site, radiology services, an urgent care service called OrthoGo, and offers a wide-awake hand surgery approach in which hand operations are done under local anaesthetic without general anaesthesia.
Regenerative medicine appears in the list of services, but the main site does not say what products or cell sources are used. Anyone interested in cell or platelet treatment should ask at the consultation exactly what would be injected, where it comes from, and what evidence supports it for their condition.
No cell source is named on the main site, even though regenerative medicine is listed as a service.
Fifteen physicians are listed with their areas of focus.
The group has six Orange County offices: Fountain Valley, Laguna Woods, Irvine, Los Alamitos, Placentia and Yorba Linda. Published hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm. Physical therapy, hand therapy and radiology are available within the practice, and an urgent care service, OrthoGo, is offered. The website refers to 50 years of orthopaedic care but does not give a founding year outright, and states nothing about languages spoken or services for patients travelling from abroad.
No specific prices are published, although the website does point to a self-pay pricing resource. Ask directly what a consultation and any regenerative treatment would cost, and what your insurance covers.
