At Sagewell Orthopaedics, under the expert guidance of Dr. Scott Strasburger and his dedicated team, we believe that exceptional healthcare emerges when decades of medical expertise unite with genuine compassion for our patients. This philosophy — where wisdom truly meets wellness — drives everything we do as we prepare to welcome the Lincoln community and greater Southeast Nebraska to our brand-new, state-of-the-art facility this fall.

On September 29th, 2025, we'll officially open the doors to our Lincoln location, marking a significant milestone in our mission to provide trusted, expert care as a compassionate partner in health for communities throughout Southeast Nebraska. This grand opening represents more than just a new building — it's the culmination of our commitment to bringing innovative orthopaedic care closer to the families and individuals who need it most.

The Sagewell Difference: Expert Care Rooted in Compassion

As a division of Syracuse Area Health, Sagewell Orthopaedics combines the best of both worlds: the specialized expertise of orthopaedic medicine with the comprehensive support of a trusted healthcare partner. We understand that when you're facing orthopaedic challenges — whether it's a sports injury, chronic joint pain, or the need for surgical intervention — you deserve more than just clinical treatment. You deserve a team that sees you as a whole person, not just a diagnosis.

Our approach is guided by the understanding that true healing happens when cutting-edge medical knowledge meets personalized, compassionate care. This is where wisdom meets wellness in its most powerful form—serving not only Lincoln, but our neighbors across Southeast Nebraska.

Knowledge-Driven Care for Every Stage of Life

Orthopaedic health needs evolve throughout our lives. The active teenager recovering from an ACL tear has different needs than the grandmother managing arthritis pain. At Sagewell Orthopaedics, we provide knowledge-driven services tailored to every stage of life, ensuring that our patients from throughout Southeast Nebraska receive not only the most appropriate treatment but also the education they need to make informed healthcare decisions.

Our comprehensive approach includes:

  • Preventive Care: Teaching proper movement patterns and injury prevention strategies
  • Non-Surgical Treatments: Exploring conservative options, including physical therapy, injections, and regenerative medicine
  • Advanced Surgical Procedures: When surgery is necessary, utilizing the latest minimally invasive techniques
  • Rehabilitation Support: Comprehensive recovery programs designed for optimal outcomes

Leadership That Embodies Our Mission

Our Lincoln facility operates under the expert guidance of Dr. Scott Strasburger and his accomplished team, setting the standard for excellence in orthopaedic care for Southeast Nebraska. Dr. Strasburger’s extensive experience and dedication to his patients exemplify the wisdom and compassion at the heart of our philosophy. His leadership ensures our approach to patient care combines advanced medical expertise with genuine empathy and clear communication, fostering trust and confidence at every step.

Together, Dr. Strasburger and our skilled physicians and advanced practice providers empower patients to make informed decisions about their health. This commitment to guidance and patient education shapes every consultation, treatment plan, and follow-up—ensuring the highest level of care for every individual we serve across Lincoln and Southeast Nebraska.

Innovation Meets Tradition in Our New Lincoln Facility

The upcoming grand opening of our Lincoln location represents a perfect synthesis of innovation and tradition. Our new facility features state-of-the-art equipment—all designed with patient comfort and optimal outcomes in mind.

Yet technology alone doesn't define excellent care. The true innovation lies in how we use these tools to enhance the patient experience while maintaining the personal touch that has always been central to healing. Our Lincoln facility is designed to create an environment where patients from throughout Southeast Nebraska feel heard, understood, and confident in their care journey.

What Sets Our Lincoln Location Apart

Our new Lincoln facility embodies several key features that distinguish Sagewell Orthopaedics:

  • Comprehensive Services Under One Roof: From initial consultation through post-surgical rehabilitation, patients can access all aspects of their orthopaedic care in one convenient location.
  • Advanced Diagnostic Capabilities: On-site imaging and diagnostic services mean faster answers and more efficient treatment planning.
  • Patient-Centered Design: Every aspect of our facility design prioritizes patient comfort, privacy, and accessibility.
  • Collaborative Care Model: Our team approach ensures that every patient benefits from the collective expertise of our physicians, advanced practice providers, and support staff—serving the unique needs of Lincoln and the broader Southeast Nebraska region.

Building Healthy Communities Through Orthopaedic Excellence

Sagewell's mission extends beyond individual patient care to fostering healthy communities across Southeast Nebraska. We understand that when people can move without pain, participate in activities they love, and maintain their independence, entire communities benefit. This is why our commitment to orthopaedic excellence serves a greater purpose.

In Lincoln, we're not just opening a new clinic; we're establishing a center for orthopaedic wellness that will serve as a resource for athletes, weekend warriors, active seniors, and anyone in the greater Southeast Nebraska community seeking to maintain or restore their musculoskeletal health. Our goal is to become an integral part of the region’s health infrastructure.

Education and Prevention: The Foundation of Wellness

True wellness begins with education and prevention. Our Lincoln team is committed to sharing knowledge that helps members of Southeast Nebraska avoid injuries and maintain optimal musculoskeletal health. This includes:

  • Community Education Programs: Workshops on injury prevention, proper exercise techniques, and maintaining bone health
  • Youth Sports Support: Working with local athletic programs to prevent injuries and promote proper training methods
  • Senior Wellness Initiatives: Programs focused on maintaining mobility and independence as we age
  • Workplace Health: Ergonomic assessments and injury prevention strategies for local employers

The Science of Healing: Evidence-Based Practice

The "wisdom" in our care approach is grounded in rigorous scientific evidence. Our treatment recommendations are based on the latest research in orthopaedic medicine, ensuring that patients across Lincoln and Southeast Nebraska receive not just experienced care, but care that reflects the most current understanding of musculoskeletal health and healing.

This evidence-based approach influences every aspect of our practice:

  • Treatment Protocols: We follow established guidelines while personalizing care for individual patient needs
  • Surgical Techniques: Dr. Scott Strasburger utilizes the most advanced, proven procedures with the best outcomes data
  • Recovery Programs: Our rehabilitation protocols are based on research-proven methods for optimal healing
  • Patient Education: We provide information based on peer-reviewed research and clinical evidence
