Whether you’re in a rural community, a small town, or a growing metro area, our mission is the same: to provide high‑quality, specialized orthopedic care close to home.
For over 40 years, we’ve earned the trust of generations—caring for Ole Miss Athletics, the MHSAA, and every youth league, high school, college, and pro team in between. We’re proud to be part of these communities—and we’re here whenever you need us
// OUR MISSION
To deliver exceptional, patient‑centered care with integrity, compassion, and excellence. We serve with heart, lead with purpose, and stand proud of the impact we make every day.
“We go the extra mile, not because we have to, but because it’s WHO WE ARE.”
Walter Shelton, MD, founding partner of MSMOC in 1984 [with Gene Barrett, MD, and James Manning, MD]
// Jackson & Central Mississippi
Based in Jackson since 1984, our Central Mississippi clinics offer comprehensive orthopedic and sports medicine services—from routine joint pain to complex spinal disorders. With six locations—including urgent care centers in Flowood and Madison—we guarantee timely access, same‑day appointments, and a seamless patient experience.
// Oxford & Northwest Mississippi
Founded by Cooper Terry, MD, in 1997 as Oxford Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine, our clinics in and surrounding the Oxford area have long been the trusted choice for families and athletes across our region—serving everyday patients and Ole Miss Rebels alike. Our award‑winning surgeons deliver personalized care in the same clinics you’ve come to rely on. Now, as part of MSMOC, our Oxford team gains access to statewide collaboration, while maintaining the hometown service that’s defined us for nearly 30 years.
// Tupelo & Northeast Mississippi
For nearly 30 years, the team at Orthopaedic Institute of North Mississippi has led orthopedic and sports medicine care across its region. With clinics in Tupelo, Pontotoc, Corinth, and Amory, our specialty and fellowship-trained physicians provide expert treatment for every orthopedic injury, offering same-day walk-in services at its flagship location in Tupelo. As part of MSMOC, we will collaborate with our Jackson and Oxford colleagues to continue bringing cohesive, community-focused care to North Mississippi.
