History

Established in 1994.

The Spine Center is a part of Colorado Springs Orthopaedic Group which was established by its founding fathers – George Merkert, MD; Robert Carlton, MD; and James O’Donnell, MD – in the mid-​1950s.

In 1994, the practice expanded and officially changed its name to Colorado Springs Orthopaedic Group after merging three local orthopaedic practices.
