Capital Ortho delivers a comprehensive range of general and specialized orthopedic services to patients across the Greater Jackson area and throughout the state. With strategically located clinics in Flowood, Madison, Clinton, Brookhaven, Kosciusko, and Hazlehurst, ensuring accessibility remains paramount for the team, particularly for those navigating injuries and dealing with chronic conditions. Many individuals have entrusted Capital Ortho for years, forming enduring relationships with the surgeons and affirming the practice’s esteemed reputation.
While the training and quality care the staff at Capital Ortho provides is well known, the backbone of their success is a consistent focus on the physician-patient relationship. Each of the doctors strives to build lasting physician-patient relationship that goes beyond the initial appointment, physical operations, and recovery process.
“Healing takes on many aspects, whether it’s physical, emotional, spiritual or mental,” said Dr. Bradley Kellum. “Happier patients lead to better outcomes and that comes with each of us talking to them and really spending some time with our patients during their appointments versus rushing in and out.”
Dr. Will McCraney echoed his colleague’s statement when he said, “We try to practice medicine in a way that’s not just the academic side; we get involved in our patients’ lives because health is holistic, and we take all of those aspects into account when considering treatment plans for them.”
While each surgeon is trained in general orthopedic care, all also bring with them specialized areas of training. Each physician has received advanced, specialized training in their particular area of expertise. They all bring unique backgrounds and experience to their patient-care approach.
“I’ve seen how hard it is for some patients to recover and the amount of work it takes to do rehabilitation with orthopedic injuries,” said Dr. Matt Futvoye. “We each try to encourage our patients and give them the time to be heard.”
When talking with the surgeons, you’ll find one common theme among each of them regarding patient care – empathy. After all, can one really care for someone they don’t seek to understand? The question is one that prompts both empathy and genuine concern, and it drives the surgeon’s commitment to compassionate care each day.
But this empathy and care are not only seen in the Capital Ortho facilities, they are also on full display in the communities they serve. Capital Ortho is proud to be 100% privately owned by the physicians, with many of them being born and raised right here in Mississippi, placing a special emphasis on service and partnership in the community. “Our dedication and commitment to the communities we serve is important to u. We get involved in giving back in many ways - supporting our local schools through athletic programs, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and health-related educational programs, providing resources and education to local senior citizen groups, first responder appreciation events, and supporting our local businesses and industries through our area Chambers of Commerce. We are also a Patriot Partner with the National Guard Association of Mississippi, supporting our military personnel as well.”
In their state-of-the-art, full-service facility in Flowood, the capable surgeons at Capital Ortho can diagnose, treat, perform surgery, and facilitate patient rehabilitation with physical therapy and follow-ups all under the same roof. The Surgery Center has been a tremendous blessing for the team, but most importantly the patients.
It has allowed Capital Ortho to offer convenience, efficiency, cost savings, and high levels of satisfaction for patients and their family members with the majority of orthopedic surgical procedures being able to be performed in the building, inclusive of total hip, knee, and shoulder replacement procedures, in addition to many others such as hand, elbow, foot, ankle, and sports-related conditions.
Traditionally, these surgeries have required a hospital stay, but with advancements in technology, access to the outpatient surgery center, and home health accessibility, Capital Ortho can allow patients to safely return to the comfort of their home on the same day as their procedure.
Although new growth and capabilities are exciting, the surgeons at Capital Ortho are adamant to not let that growth impact their patient care. “Sometimes it’s good to ask ourselves, ‘Why would people want to come here?’ and let that answer guide how we want to grow,” said Dr. Chris Kneip. “I know that I want to grow because people see that we are different here – that we aim to be kind, compassionate, and generous in the time we spend time with our patients.”
Perhaps it’s this very philosophy that has compelled patients and their families to return year after year for more than three decades. Capital Ortho’s mission is clear: to ensure every patient feels valued, heard, and on the path to recovery. Upon entering the doors, most patients grapple with pain, yet the Capital Ortho team strives to instill confidence in a forward-looking approach tailored to each individual, facilitating a return to an enriched quality of life. So, what’s the secret to their enduring success? According to the leadership team, it’s really no secret at all; it’s simply the culmination of experience, expertise, and unwavering passion, blended with a touch of genuine compassion.
