From a wheelchair to thousands of steps a day, every recovery journey is unique, but the goal is always the same: a better quality of life. Choosing joint replacement is a big decision, and no two paths look exactly alike. We’re honored to be part of stories like Barry’s and grateful for the trust our patients place in our team. 💙

We’re adding to our team!

Salina Ortho is looking for a PA-C or NP who’s ready to jump into both clinic and OR life alongside a group that truly enjoys working together.

This is a hands-on role where you’ll build relationships with patients, assist in surgery, and be part of a team that cares about doing things the right way. Know someone who’d be a great fit? Send them our way!

Full of energy, full of heart, and always on the go, this is Sarah! Sarah has been a part of Salina Ortho for 16½ years, working alongside Dr. Grauerholz, Dr. Horinek, Dr. Daily, and Dr. Johnson, and the incredible teams that support them. She’s quick, knowledgeable, and full of energy, juggling patient care, doctor schedules, and a bit of detective work every day, all with her signature bubbly personality.

She loves seeing patients improve, getting to know them, and helping them return to the activities they enjoy. Her energy and enthusiasm make the office a brighter, livelier place, she keeps everyone on their toes and always brings a little extra spark to the day.

When she’s not at work, Sarah is probably running, soaking up the outdoors, or spending time with her family. Fun fact: she has a knack for remembering birthdays, so don’t be surprised if she’s got yours memorized!

Her dedication, positivity, and heart make a real difference here. Sarah, we’re so grateful for the care, laughter, and energy you bring to every day, you make this place better just by being you.

🎳 Employee Appreciation Night at The Alley of Salina was exactly what it needed to be: loud, a little competitive, and a lot of fun.

There were some impressive bowling strikes… and some that will never be spoken of again. Laser tag got intense (we learned a few coworkers cannot be trusted in the arena), the arcade games brought out everyone’s competitive side, and the food didn’t last long.

It was a great evening to hang out, laugh, and appreciate the team that makes Salina Ortho such a great place every day. Grateful for our wonderful crew!

We want to take a moment to give a big shoutout to the amazing team at the Beloit Medical Center, P.A.

Each month, two of our providers, Dr. Horinek and Dr. Herrenbruck, travel to serve patients at this satellite location, and we simply couldn’t do it without the outstanding support of the Beloit team.

From the clinic staff to the Radiology Department, there are so many moving parts behind the scenes that make exceptional patient care possible. The coordination, teamwork, and dedication it takes does not go unnoticed. You truly go above and beyond for patients every single day.

As a small token of our appreciation, we were thrilled to have Sweet Mama Lea’s deliver some delicious treats to the Beloit Medical team.

Thank you for your partnership, your professionalism, and your commitment to providing superb care to our shared patients. We are grateful for you!

We are so grateful for families who trust us with their care and take the time to share their experience. Stories like this are exactly why we do what we do. Our Orthopedic and Physical Therapy Teams are committed to treating every patient like family and this says it all.

"Dr. Kindel did surgery on my daughter’s patella. He did a terrific job. She has had no issues. Thanks Dr Kindel, you’re awesome!

She had PT with Steve and Alex. They are TERRIFIC! Very kind and caring. Steve went out of his way on the last day of her PT to celebrate her by buying pizza and making homemade ice cream. The way they interact with each client, it’s not just a job for them.. you can see they truly care about each one. Thank you Steve and Alex for all your kindness and help to get Tiffen moving around so fast!"

Thank you to our incredible Physical Therapy team for the unmatched care you provide to our patients and their families.

Did you know? Salina Ortho has a provider in Colby every week, helping bring high-quality orthopedic care closer to home for Western Kansas communities.

Through our long-standing partnership with Citizens Health Orthopedics, powered by Salina Ortho, patients have access to specialized orthopedic services right at Citizens Medical Center. We want to give a warm welcome to Adam Horinek, PA-C, who will be working alongside Salina Ortho’s visiting specialists providing both clinical and surgical orthopedic care to support patients through every step of their treatment journey.

An Atwood, Kansas native, Adam is part of a care team built on collaboration, compassion, and a shared commitment to serving the communities of Western Kansas. This partnership reflects what matters most to us, neighbors caring for neighbors, strong local healthcare, and making sure quality orthopedic care stays within reach for the families who call this region home.

We’re proud to stand alongside Citizens Health and providers like Adam as we continue working to serve communities across our state!

We’re so excited to introduce Heather, one of the incredible team members helping keep everything moving behind the scenes at Salina Ortho!

Heather is no stranger to the medical world. With previous experience as a scrub tech and surgery scheduler, she’s now on the other side of things, using her firsthand knowledge of the OR and surgical process to help guide and support our patients every step of the way. As part of both our surgical coordinator team and clinical team, she plays a vital role in making sure everything runs smoothly from clinic visits to surgery day.

Her experience, attention to detail, and team-first attitude make her an invaluable part of Salina Ortho, and through it all, you’ll always find her with a smile!

Fun fact: Heather runs on coffee, kindness, and a “ready for anything” attitude.

We’re so lucky to have Heather on our team! If you see her around the clinic, be sure to say hello!

This review perfectly captures what care at Salina Ortho is all about. Exceptional outcomes are never the result of just one person, they’re made possible by an entire team working together and cheering patients on every step of the way. From our front desk coordinating appointments, our billing team handling eligibility and claims, our nursing staff answering questions and supporting patients throughout the day, our physical therapy team guiding recovery and rehab, to our physicians and physician assistants providing expert care, every role matters, and every team member is invested in our patients’ success.

"I recently had a total knee replacement at Salina Surgical Hospital under Levi Kindel, MD from Salina Ortho in Salina, KS.

From start to finish I can't say enough good things about my experience. I'm happy I chose to have robotic assisted surgery. While this was no walk in the park, the end result was worth it. The hospital stay was amazing for the amount of care and never having to wait for long if you needed assistance.

The success of the knee replacement lies with the physical therapy afterwards. My physical therapist for the 6 weeks following was Steve Sjogren. Each week things would improve and I would gain more range of motion and balance. Steve's encouragement and ability to fit what was needed for that day. He has the ability to make you laugh and try harder. In my case it was to slack off at times and Steve saw through it. I watched Steve in the physical therapy room and saw how caring he was with each of his other patients and never pushed them past what they could handle.

I would also acknowledge Amber Sawyers, PA-C for Dr. Kindel. She gave guidance on what to expect before and after surgery. Later any questions put in the portal were answered timely. I would also like to thank Jody, the nurse who would call back when Amber was not available.

When I get ready to have my second knee done, it will definitely be back here with the same team. I have had orthopedic surgery done in Wichita and it was good, but Salina Ortho stands out the best." - Margie H.

After 7 incredible years with Salina Ortho, we are celebrating the retirement of Val, OTR/L, CHT.

Val’s dedication to her patients, her kind heart, and the care she poured into every interaction made a lasting impact on so many lives. She is truly one of the sweetest people you could ever meet, and yes, we’ll miss her legendary chocolate chip cookies almost as much as we’ll miss her.

Val, thank you for the compassion, warmth, and excellence you brought to our patients every single day. We wish you all the happiness, relaxation, and joy in this next chapter, you’ve earned it!
