Fort Worth, TX (July 1, 2023) – U.S. Specialists Management (USSM) proudly announces its first partnership in the field of neurosurgery with the addition of Neurosurgery of St. Louis (NSL), a highly respected group of eight board-certified neurosurgeons, one board-certified orthopedic spine surgeon and three advanced practice providers. This milestone reflects USSM’s ongoing commitment to expanding access to exceptional specialty care across the country.

Neurosurgery of St. Louis has been a trusted leader in neurological care for over 90 years. In August 2021, the group transitioned from a traditional hospital-based model back to a private practice setting, allowing them to maintain control over patient care, increase efficiency, maximize accessibility and convenience, and personalize care for patients dealing with brain and spine conditions.

“We are honored to welcome Neurosurgery of St. Louis to the USSM family,” said Bob Yonke, CEO of U.S. Specialists Management. “Their long-standing reputation for clinical excellence, patient-first philosophy, and innovation in care delivery aligns perfectly with our mission. This partnership not only enhances our specialty offerings but also represents a major step forward in supporting independent specialty physician groups across the Midwest.”

Yonke added, “Physician leadership is the cornerstone of our company. NSL embodies the type of physician-led excellence that we strive to support at USSM—where doctors remain in control and patients come first.”

With a team renowned for its expertise, NSL provides cutting-edge neurosurgical care to communities throughout St. Louis, Central and Southern Missouri, and Southern Illinois.

“We are excited to join USSM and take this next step in our journey as a physician-led private practice,” said Dr. Michael Polinsky, Managing Partner of Neurosurgery of St. Louis. “From the beginning, our patients have been at the center of everything we do. Partnering with USSM allows us to stay true to that mission while gaining access to resources that enhance our ability to provide the highest level of care.”

Dr. Polinsky continued, “This partnership is about more than growth—it’s about strengthening our ability to deliver outstanding outcomes, expand access, and preserve the independence that allows us to be true advocates for our patients.”

This collaboration marks USSM’s first neurosurgical partnership, further diversifying its multispecialty network and reinforcing its physician-centric model. Together, USSM and NSL are poised to elevate the future of neurosurgical care.
