The local past runs deep with two physicians, Dr. Tim Geib and Dr. Scott de la Garza. Proud graduates and former All-State athletes from Edmond Memorial High School, both trained together at the University of Oklahoma and have spent their entire private practice careers as partners since the founding and earliest days of the Oklahoma Sports and Orthopedic Institute (OSOI). That time together has spanned more than two decades in one of the most iconic hospitals in the 405: SSM Health Bone & Joint Hospital at St. Anthony.
“It has always been a privilege to operate in the same rooms and with some of the same people as past giants of this profession, such as the late J. Pat Evans,” Dr. de la Garza said. “The experiences from residency that have evolved into lasting interactions with former mentors and current attending surgeons are priceless. It is truly a unique place.”
Presently, Dr. Geib and Dr. de la Garza are considered veterans within SSM Health Bone & Joint | OSOI. Over the years, the group has coalesced into an established practice of accomplished and highly decorated clinicians and surgeons. Dr. de la Garza maintains an adult reconstructive spine practice exclusively at the Midtown campus where he previously served as the chairman of the orthopedic department for more than a decade. Dr. Geib commands a mature orthopedic sports practice at multiple locations, caring for athletes of all ages as well as serving as the team physician for several high schools, collegiate programs and professional teams.
“I truly enjoy practicing orthopedics and have met and worked with some amazing people,” said Dr. Geib. “I credit my family, mentors, clinic and operating room team with a vital role in my success. I’m impressed with the outreach of my practice. Over the years, I’ve had many patients coming from out of state or internationally to be seen and treated by my clinic.”
In 2020, SSM Health and OSOI entered into a formal partnership to form SSM Health Bone & Joint | OSOI. The result of that arrangement has been an unqualified success, sustaining and continually providing an environment of superior care, commitment to resident education and physician engagement.
