Inland Hospital expands orthopedic surgical services

Northern Light Inland Hospital is proud to expand orthopedic surgical services for our community and region, making access to care quicker and easier – including same day access.

Inland welcomes four new orthopedic surgeons who will be part of Northern Light Orthopedics in Waterville: Gerard M. Benecki, MD; Jeff D. Headrick, MD; J. Mark MacNaughton, MD; and Michael J. Magee, MD. These experienced surgeons expand Inland’s expertise on a wide range of services including total joint replacements of the hip, knee, shoulder, and elbow; fracture care; arthroscopy; ACL reconstruction, rotator cuff repair, and more. With more than 125 years of experience combined, our orthopedic surgical team will consult with patients and their providers on all these services and provide patients with a seamless connection to skilled rehabilitation care at Inland.

The surgeons are joining Brian Abbott, DO, at the Orthopedics practice in the Medical Arts Building next to Inland. Dr. Abbott provides non-surgical orthopedic care.

“Our community has been asking for more Orthopedic surgical care at Inland and we are pleased to respond to those needs,” says Tricia Costigan, Inland president. “Our new surgeons are highly skilled and committed to helping patients get back to their active life and improve their daily living. An important part of that commitment is getting patients seen as quickly as possible and that means on the same day if needed.”
