About · since 2011
The point everything turns on.
A fulcrum is the point a lever pivots on. For most injuries, that point is a clear diagnosis and an honest plan. We built a practice around getting those two things right.
Built by people who play.
Fulcrum started in 2011 with two surgeons who were tired of rushed visits and vague plans. They wanted a practice where people left knowing what was wrong, what their choices were and how long each one would really take.
Today we are an independent group with three clinics in the Treasure Valley. We are not part of a hospital system, so our physicians decide how long a visit takes, and our therapists work down the hall instead of across town.
We see high school soccer players and retired pickleball regulars, skiers with fresh knee injuries and runners with slow-building pain. The plan is different for each of them. The honesty is the same.
How we work.
-
Non-surgical first
Most people we see never need an operation. When surgery is the better choice, we say so plainly and explain why.
-
Ranges, not promises
Recovery is shown as honest ranges. We never quote success rates or promise a return date.
-
One roof
Surgeons, a sports medicine physician, physical therapists and an athletic trainer share one chart and one plan.
-
Answer the phone
A person picks up on weekdays from 7:30 a.m. If we cannot help, we will tell you who can.
