Ortho | Sports MedicineWe are proud to announce that we will be working with a well-regarded team of orthopedic specialists from the Treasure Valley, who will deliver advanced orthopedics services to our community. Please join us in welcoming our newest providers, Dr. Ryan Applonie, president of Capital Ortho LLC and his team of specialists – Dr. Tim Neuschwander, Dr. Ray Jensen, Amy Chan, PA-C, and Katy Laible, PA-C.
These providers have an excellent reputation, share Valor Health values, and are enthusiastic about serving our rural community. They have years of experience and bring the latest techniques, covering all areas of orthopedics and sports medicine. In partnership with Dr. Applonie, Valor will offer more minimally invasive techniques such as an anterior hip replacement approach that shrinks recovery time. Other areas of expertise include upper extremity, carpal tunnel, trigger finger, cubital tunnel, shoulder, elbow, hips, knees, chronic pain, injections, sprains, strains, and fractures.
Each of these orthopedists will rotationally work in the clinic, operating room and cover after-hours call with the physician assistants helping with follow-up care in the clinic. Please be assured that the Valor staff who are currently part of the Orthopedics and Sports Medicine program are committed to
continuing to meet our mission of providing high-quality, compassionate care.
Our new specialists are excited to meet you and begin serving your orthopedic needs. Please give Valor Orthopedics and Sports Medicine a call to learn more or to schedule an appointment at (208) 365-3563. Beginning January 12, 2026, they will start supporting a full clinical and surgical schedule, provide emergency department call coverage, and deliver care across the clinic and operating room settings.
We are proud of our program serving Gem County’s Orthopedic and Sports Medicine needs since 2016 and are excited about the future. We want you to know how much we appreciate you and look forward to providing personal care and meeting your healthcare needs.
