SUPPLY, N.C. – Novant Health announced today a new affiliation with Leighton Orthopedics & Sports Medicine in Supply, N.C., about 30 miles southwest of Wilmington. Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Richard Leighton, who has been practicing in Brunswick County since 1996, founded Leighton Orthopedics & Sports Medicine in 2006.
“Dr. Leighton and his team bring decades of expertise and results for their patients,” said Heather King-Semple, president and chief operating officer, Novant Health Brunswick Medical Center. “We look forward to working with them to ensure coastal North Carolina residents have access to local care to help them live their best lives.”
Leighton provides comprehensive care for musculoskeletal conditions and trauma, with special emphasis on arthroscopic surgery of the knee, shoulder, elbow and ankle, robotic-assisted knee replacements, reconstructive procedures, total joint replacements, rotator cuff disorders and help for nerve compression syndromes such as carpal tunnel syndrome. Leighton also has a strong interest in orthobiologics, which capture the body's own healing potential to enhance healing and recovery.
“By affiliating with Novant Health, we are ensuring that our patients will continue to receive the best possible care, supported by leading-edge technology, and backed by a world-class health system,” Leighton said. “It's all about providing the highest-quality compassionate health care to our patients, and this new relationship is certainly good news for those looking for great care close to home.”
The addition of Leighton Orthopedics expands Novant Health’s options for orthopedic care in coastal North Carolina. Novant Health also operates Novant Health Orthopedics & Sports Medicine - Leland.
