About Us

How We Began

Dr. Rose opened his practice in the summer of 2001. Before settling in the area he had an interest in the historical events of the region. Mineral Wells was first settled in 1877 by Judge James Alvis Lynch and his wife, Armanda. They set up camp in the Millsap Valley nestled in the Palo Pinto hills. After drilling wells in the area, the water was noted to have medicinal benefits. It was said that crazy well waters could cure many illnesses, including mental illness, so the name “Crazy Well” seemed fitting. This was the first mineral water well in the county and is the site of a historical marker.

Why Orthopaedics, Not Orthopedics?

The term orthopaedics was coined in 1741 by a man named Nicholas Andry. The term is derived from the Greek words orthos (straight) and paedia (children), because the profession originally specialized in treating children with deformities. Today, orthopedics has become the standardized spelling in the United States, while organizations such as the AAOS as well as the majority of university and residency programs use Andry’s original spelling.
