oastal Carolina Orthopaedic Surgeons, PA is a North Carolina professional   Association founded in 2003 by Dr. McClurg. The practice is located at 237   White Street directly adjacent to the hospital. The practice is in an elegant building and includes 5,500 Sq Feet for the Orthopaedic Practice and 5,000Sq feet for the Physical therapy and Occupational therapy practice run by OMH. Although the building was relatively new in 2003 it was extensively remodeled to convert it from its former use by Dr. Henry Haye as an Ob/GYN office. As many Jacksonville residents know Dr. Haye is a local legend and one of the best Doctors to have practiced in Jacksonville. The building has an overhead canopy in the front to protect injured or elderly patients as they leave their vehicles. Handicap parking is available at the side doors and wheelchairs are available to transport injured patients from their vehicles. Automatic doors allow for easy access of patients who are not always the most mobile. The waiting room is spacious and has ample seating and desk space to work. A TV and current magazines are available to pass what should be a short time until your scheduled appointment.

     The practice now includes three Physician Assistants (PA) and offers the latest in Orthopaedic care.  The Orthopaedic PA’s are given intensive additional training by Dr. McClurg before they are allowed to see patients and perform injections and the training period can last as long as six additional months beyond there already extensive training as Physician Assistants.  The practice has expanded in scope and now offers EMG/NCS studies, which are performed by Mr. Steve Freeman, PT, ESC.  On site digital x-ray (the first in Onslow County), along with Onsite Physical therapy, and durable medical goods round out our musculoskeletal services.

       The Practice is run by Christie McClurg, RN and has 11 full time employees dedicated to patient care and excellence in Orthopaedic practice.  Christie is the founding president of the Jacksonville practice managers association and continues to be a member of the group.  She is also an east coast advisory board member for Medical Mutual Insurance Company of North Carolina.

       The practice values the privacy of its’ patients and is full HIPAA compliant which means that your health record is safe and secure.  The practice is also in the process of converting to a full electronic medical record that will make records even more secure while using computers and technology to make access to your health information 24/7 easier.

         The Physicians and Physician’s assistants at CCOS are the only ones taking Emergency Room call at Onslow Memorial Hospital.  Except for a very brief period when the hospital employed their own practitioner this has been true for the last 6 years CCOS.
