McBride Clinic opens in a little, four-room, red brick house in Oklahoma City. Dr. McBride’s goal is to provide the mechanical necessities and conveniences required to care for and perform orthopedic surgery under one roof.
 
By this time McBride Clinic’s physician staff grows to twelve surgeons and the adjacent Bone & Joint Hospital has 75 beds.

Financing, architectural plans, and various permissions are secured to begin construction of the new Bone & Joint Hospital.
 
The move is made into the new hospital and the old building is demolished with a 4-level parking garage erected in its place.






Dr. Earl D. McBride returns after his service in WWI and takes over the practice of the only orthopedic surgeon in Oklahoma City, who had died during an influenza epidemic.

Steady growth forces Dr. McBride to move to a larger space. A two-story brick building is purchased and named ‘Reconstruction Hospital and McBride Clinic.’ After receiving letters from bridge contractors regarding construction jobs, the staff decides to officially change the name to ‘The Bone and Joint Hospital and McBride Clinic.’

Bone & Joint Hospital and McBride Clinic becomes a full-fledged hospital, adding arthritis care to bone and joint disorders and orthopedic surgeries. Dr. Ishmael, one of the first rheumatologists in the U.S. and Dr. Shorbe, the first fully trained Orthopedic Surgeon, joined the staff.

Construction on a remodel for McBride Clinic is completed on Lee Street, creating a new ambulatory surgery center and two floors of clinic offices, all connected with the 4-level parking garage and the three floors of the hospital.

McBride Clinic includes a staff of over 250, including 24 physicians who are recognized world-wide among the best. In addition to the Downtown location, there is an Edmond clinic, a Norman clinic, an Occupational Health Clinic on W. Reno and the newest addition, McBride Clinic Orthopedic Hospital on Broadway Extension.
