Our Mission - Quality Care From People Who Care.
Our mission is to provide superior clinical orthopedic care to our patients at all times. We strive to balance excellent patient care with a practice that allows the physicians and employees to work in a business that is financially sound and personal in nature. Every function of our practice is designed to provide comprehensive, compassionate medical care to our patients.
We believe a professional and well run medical facility builds confidence in our patients. We want our patients to have a strong relationship with our physicians so they can receive the full benefit of our services.
We know that a properly run facility creates an atmosphere where patients can freely talk with our providers. In this kind of atmosphere, our patients will appreciate the expertise and compassion that our providers offer. Creating this environment requires that each of us work together to fulfill our individual roles in providing excellent medical care in a timely and friendly manner.
History of MBJ
Missoula Bone & Joint was founded over 60 years ago by Dr. W.J. McDonald and Dr. Warren "Mac" McKinstry, the first two orthopedic surgeons in Missoula, Montana. The physicians who joined thereafter maintained their own personal orthopedic practice but worked together in one office at 700 West Kent, Missoula. That group became known as Missoula Orthopedic Associates.
In 1999, the nine independent physicians of Missoula Orthopedic Associates joined together as a group and have since become Missoula Bone & Joint.
The current physicians of Missoula Bone & Joint have over 211 years of combined experience. They all share a love for the beautiful state of Montana and enjoy all the many seasonal activities offered.
Our founding physicians would be proud to know that after 60 years Missoula Bone & Joint still holds true to its original mission of offering quality, professional and dedicated care to those we serve.
