A History of Supporting Orthopedic Medicine

Paul got his start in healthcare in 1971 as a scrub nurse and surgical assistant at Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas. He later received a Bachelor of Science from the University of Texas-Arlington and an MBA in Healthcare Administration from the University of Dallas.

His advanced education and background, together with the emergence of HIT technology, led Paul on a long professional journey. He started working in sales for practice management billing software and electronic health records (EHR) in 1988; in 2006, he introduced Phoenix Ortho, the first orthopedic-specific EHR platform.

Phoenix Ortho is an innovative solution rooted in improving efficiency and effectiveness within the orthopedic field. It has made a difference for more than 1,000 providers in 44 states.

From the very beginning, family has played an important role in Phoenix Ortho's success. Paul's son, Monty – a talented web designer and graphic artist in his own right – initially proposed the development of an orthopedic-specific EHR.

At the time, Monty and Paul were both working on the graphical user interface at NextGen, with Monty acting as a contract programmer and later assisting with deployment, implementation, and troubleshooting.

The father-son duo pooled their life savings to create a prototype with help from a contract programmer. It was Monty's youthful optimism and the developmental tools at the pair's disposal that set Phoenix Ortho on its current path of success. Monty's prolific and accomplished career as a programmer and overall leader has led him to more than 10 years of experience with Phoenix Ortho, where he holds the title of principal, but the pride of a developer.

Micah began his IT career in 1998 as a computer technician. That initial foray evolved into management and consulting roles around the Dallas/Fort Worth metro area, including one with Phoenix Ortho. Micah took on a leadership position after his first interaction with the company and was deeply involved in its early strategy and technology.

He turned a consulting job into a full-time role and now oversees general operations, including the support and training departments as well as Phoenix Ortho's actual technology. Micah exemplifies the family-oriented nature of Phoenix Ortho’s company values in his respect for the team and strong relationships with employees, customers, vendors, and partners.
