About Genesis

At Genesis, our goal is simple: free our patients to be more active, more athletic, and to move freely in their bodies—accessible to everyone, not just those with the right commercial insurance. We've reinvented the care delivery model to provide high-quality care while making prices more ethical and affordable.

We're proud that 75% of our patient base consists of Medicaid-eligible patients, and we were recently included on the 2021 Inc. 5000 list as one of the fastest-growing privately held businesses in the United States. This achievement stems from combining deep clinical expertise with an administrative rethink of how we deliver care, all while remaining passionate about our mission and patients.
