The new partner practices are Encinitas Oral Surgery in California, the Maxillofacial Surgery Center of Huntsville in Alabama, and Pickett Oral Surgery in Knoxville, TN.
“We’re pleased to wrap up Q3 2024 and enter Q4 by announcing continued growth, and we’re honored that Encinitas Oral Surgery, Maxillofacial Surgery Center of Huntsville, and Pickett Oral Surgery have agreed to become our partners as we continue to build our best-in-class network of oral and maxillofacial surgeons,” said USOSM president and CEO Richard Hall. “We’ve always been extremely selective about the surgeons we partner with, and these three practices meet all of the criteria for a strong partnership.
