On April, 1, 2013, a laptop and ten patient files were stolen during a car break-in. The patient files were subsequently recovered. However, information regarding some patients of Orthopedic Physician Associates, a division of Proliance Surgeons, may have been compromised by this theft.

Please call 1-888-608-7344 or email [email protected] if you believe you may have been affected by this incident or for further information about this incident. It is the mission of Proliance Surgeons, Inc., P.S. to provide quality care to every patient, which includes respecting privacy and maintaining the confidentiality of health information.
