OrthoLegal assists Orthopaedic Surgeons to deliver Quality, On-Time Reporting
After working for OrthoLegal for over one year, I could not be more pleased with my decision to join their company. The founder, Dr. Alexis Dixon, designed the organization to eliminate common pain points for examiners and has done a fantastic job executing that vision. The company truly takes care of its examiners by handling much of the heavy lifting, including comprehensive medical record summaries prepared by skilled medical historians and high-quality editing by experienced report editors…

Who We Are
OrthoLegal was founded by Orthopaedic Surgeon and QME Alexis E. Dixon, MD to make medicolegal practice realistic — and rewarding — for busy California surgeons.
A demanding Orthopaedic practice rarely allows for the time and effort required to keep pace with California’s state-enforced QME requirements. Yet the need for qualified evaluators is significant: the vast majority of work-related injuries in California involve the musculoskeletal system, and those disputes can only be resolved by physicians with the right expertise.
We are the experts on musculoskeletal evaluations — General Orthopaedics, Spine, and Hand — and we exist to handle everything around the medicine so our physicians can focus on the medicine itself.
What Sets Us Apart
Physician-owned, physician-run, and built for the realities of an Orthopaedic practice. Every part of our process is designed by people who have done the work.
Physician-Owned
Founded and owned by a practicing surgeon.
OrthoLegal is owned by an Orthopaedic Surgeon — not by venture capital or private equity. That ownership keeps our priorities aligned with the physicians we serve.
Physician-Run
Internal processes built by people who've done the work.
Our workflows are tailor-made by experts who have worked in QME practice and genuinely understand what the job requires day to day.
Support
A full team behind every evaluation.
We provide the staffing to streamline every QME evaluation — from the initial call to the closure of the case — so nothing falls on the physician.
Efficiency
The right team around the surgeon.
Just as a scrub tech, OR nurse, and anesthesiologist are critical to surgical outcomes, the right back-office team is critical to a medicolegal report. We provide that team.
Paperwork Management
Scheduling, on-site coordination, and QA — handled.
Our staff manages scheduling, on-site evaluations, and quality assurance on report-writing, so the physician focuses on medical decision-making.
Communication & Technology
Cross-trained team. Modern software.
Every team member is cross-trained across our processes to minimize miscommunication, supported by customized software for efficient scheduling and reporting.
