Repair done right, priced before you say yes
Our Sports Surgery Bundle is a single, transparent price for the operations active adults need most: ACL reconstruction, meniscus repair, and rotator cuff repair. Dr. Justin T. Smith performs your surgery at a vetted partner surgery center, then sees you through recovery. You get a clear written estimate before anything is scheduled, so you decide on your terms instead of waiting on an insurance company.
- ✓Performed by Dr. Justin T. Smith, MD, double board-certified in orthopaedic surgery and sports medicine, fellowship-trained.
- ✓Done at a partner ambulatory surgery center.
- ✓One coordinated plan from consult to recovery, with integrated physical therapy available through Dr. Christie Smith.
- ✓Cash-based with an itemized superbill and out-of-network claims assistance, though reimbursement is not guaranteed.
This may be a fit if you recognize yourself here
The best way to know is a consult, where Dr. Smith reviews your history, your imaging, and your goals. Many of the people we help share a few things in common.
Candidacy is determined at your consultation. Not everyone is a surgical candidate, and Dr. Smith will discuss non-surgical options when they are the better path.
- ✓You have a diagnosed or suspected ACL tear, meniscus tear, or rotator cuff tear.
- ✓You are an active adult who wants to get back to lifting, running, court sports, golf, or simply keeping up with life.
- ✓You want a clear price and a fast path to surgery instead of months of insurance approvals.
- ✓You value a surgeon who manages your case personally from first visit through recovery.
One price, the people and places that matter, all in
Most surgical sticker shock comes from the bills you never saw coming: a separate facility charge, a separate anesthesia charge, follow-up visits added on later. Our bundle folds the core of your surgical care into one quoted price so you know what you are paying before the day of surgery.
Included in your price
- Your surgeon's fee for the procedure
- The partner surgery center (facility) fee
- Anesthesia services during your procedure
- Standard pre-operative planning visit
- Routine post-operative follow-up visits with Dr. Smith
Quoted separately, in writing
- Implants, grafts, and surgical hardware (for example, ACL graft material), quoted on your Good Faith Estimate
- Advanced imaging (MRI, X-ray) if needed before surgery
- Physical therapy and rehabilitation, available through Dr. Christie Smith, priced per visit
- Biologics (PRP, BMAC, Lipogems) if added to your plan
- Durable medical equipment, bracing, and casting
- Treatment of complications or unrelated conditions
Every estimate is built for your specific procedure. Implants and grafts vary by case, so they are itemized and quoted alongside the bundle, never hidden.

A general roadmap, built around you
Recovery is different for every patient and every procedure, so think of this as education, not a promise. Dr. Smith and Dr. Christie Smith build your actual plan around your injury, your surgery, and your goals. Integrated physical therapy is a major reason patients feel supported the whole way through.
- 01
Early days
Focus on protecting the repair, managing swelling, and starting gentle, guided motion.
- 02
Early weeks
Progressive range of motion and the first stages of strength work, guided by your rehab plan.
- 03
Building strength
Loading the tissue safely, rebuilding strength and control, and expanding daily activity.
- 04
Return to performance
Sport-specific and goal-specific training as you and your care team clear each milestone.
Timelines and milestones vary by individual, procedure, and how your body heals. Nothing here is a guarantee of any specific outcome or recovery speed. Your care team will set your real expectations at your visits.
Premium surgical care without the insurance hassle
One surgeon, start to finish
Dr. Smith handles your consult, your operation, and your follow-up. You are never handed off.
Price you can see
A written Good Faith Estimate before you commit, with implants and grafts itemized, never hidden.
Fast access
Consults in days, not months. No prior authorizations slowing you down.
Care under one roof
Surgery, follow-up, and integrated physical therapy coordinated as one connected plan.
Reimbursement support
An itemized superbill and out-of-network claims assistance, though reimbursement is not guaranteed.
Signature Option
Ask about bio-integrative fixation
When it fits your repair, we can use bio-integrative, metal-less fixation made from the same minerals your bones are built from. It is strong from day one and is replaced by your own bone over time, when clinically appropriate (per the manufacturer).
This is offered only when it is the right tool for your injury, and it is discussed at your consult. See our signature page for how it works and where it applies.
- Designed to integrate, not to be removed in a second surgery, when clinically appropriate
- Cleaner X-rays and MRIs so your care team can see how you healed
- A signature differentiator of Journey Orthopaedic Institute
One bundled number, quoted up front
There is no one-size-fits-all surgery price, because graft, implant, and procedure choices differ by case. Request a Good Faith Estimate and we build your bundle around your specific procedure, so you see one clear number before you decide.

The surgical bundle itself is built around your procedure, because graft and implant choices differ by case, so it is quoted in writing as a Good Faith Estimate rather than listed here.
Ways to pay

Out of network, with claims assistance: if your plan has out-of-network benefits we can file the claim on your behalf. Reimbursement is not guaranteed.Check your benefits
