Joint pain, injuries, and limited mobility can affect nearly every part of daily life—from how you sleep to how you work, exercise, and spend time with family. At Summit BMC, our Orthopedics team focuses on helping patients move more comfortably, heal more effectively, and return to the activities that matter most.
As Central Oregon’s premier physician-led, multispecialty medical group, Summit BMC has also made timely access to care a top priority. With more than 200 providers across 45 specialties and nine locations—including a full-service clinic in Sunriver—patients can get the orthopedic care they need, when they need it.
Comprehensive Orthopedic Care, All in One Place
Summit BMC’s Orthopedics specialists treat a wide range of conditions affecting the shoulders, hips, knees, and other joints. Care begins with a detailed assessment and often starts with conservative options such as physical therapy, activity modification, or injections. When surgery is recommended, patients benefit from modern techniques designed to reduce pain and support recovery.
Services include:
- Treatment for shoulder, hip, and knee pain
- Sports and activity-related injuries
- Arthritis and degenerative joint conditions
- Fractures and trauma care
- Minimally invasive surgical options when appropriate
Each care plan is tailored to the patient’s anatomy, lifestyle, and long-term goals—not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Orthopedic appointments in Central Oregon are often in high demand. At Summit BMC, most orthopedic patients are typically seen within one to two days—helping them move quickly from pain to recovery.

Expertise That Supports Access
Summit BMC’s orthopedic program is built on experienced clinicians who bring depth in sports medicine, joint reconstruction, and minimally invasive procedures. That expertise allows Summit to offer advanced orthopedic care locally—without sending patients out of the region.
Dr. Pete Scheffel, for example, brings more than a decade of experience in sports medicine and minimally invasive hip and shoulder procedures. His background reflects Summit BMC’s broader commitment to evidence-based care, education, and thoughtful surgical decision-making.
Advanced Shoulder Care for Lasting Relief
Chronic shoulder pain can affect everything from sleep to work to daily movement. Summit BMC offers advanced shoulder replacement options, including total and reverse shoulder arthroplasty, for patients whose symptoms no longer respond to conservative care.
Using state-of-the-art imaging and patient-specific planning, Summit BMC’s orthopedic surgeons tailor procedures to each individual’s anatomy, lifestyle, and goals. Muscle-sparing and minimally invasive techniques are often used, particularly in complex or revision cases, helping patients regain function and confidence.
Minimally Invasive Hip Care for Active Patients
Hip pain doesn’t always require joint replacement. Summit BMC offers hip arthroscopy—a minimally invasive option used to diagnose and treat conditions such as labral tears, impingement, synovitis, and select arthritic changes.
This approach is often well-suited for active patients and athletes with non-arthritic hip conditions. Smaller incisions may lead to less pain, reduced scarring, and faster recovery—helping patients sooner return to the activities they enjoy.
Focus on Recovery
Orthopedic care at Summit BMC doesn’t end with a procedure. Recovery planning, coordination with physical therapy, and clear communication are all part of helping patients regain strength and confidence over time.
If joint pain or injury is limiting your quality of life, an evaluation with Summit BMC’s Orthopedics team can help clarify your options and determine the right next steps—so you can get back to moving forward.
