Dr. John Gleason and Dr. Douglas Lundy, who have served as co-presidents of Resurgens Orthopaedics since 2015 and 2014 respectively, decided to step down from the operational aspects of their posts and concentrate fully on their surgical practices, which resulted in the creation of the CEO position and a search for the right candidate.

"Alex's strong background in business development and physician partnerships as well as his skill in positioning an organization for future success are among the qualities that made him our top choice for CEO" said Dr. John Gleason. "He is a visionary leader with a keen understanding of our business, and we are delighted to welcome him to the Resurgens Orthopaedics team."

"Resurgens Orthopaedics is one of the most trusted names in the orthopaedic field, which is a testament to the skilled physicians, exceptional leadership and dedicated staff who provide the very best orthopaedic care and patient experience each day" said Bateman. "I am thrilled to join the talented team as CEO and look forward to helping evolve and grow the company in response to the tremendous change and opportunity that currently exists in the healthcare industry."

Prior to joining Resurgens Orthopaedics as CEO, Bateman's most recent role was at United Surgical Partners as President of Operations for the East Division, a territory that covers 10 states and 60 surgical centers.At the same time, he served as Executive Director at Resurgens Orthopaedics for five years.He also worked at DaVita, where he led a mergers and acquisitions team that completed hundreds of transactions and joint ventures in the dialysis and vascular access space.Bateman has an undergraduate degree in finance from Virginia Tech and an executive MBA from the Johns Hopkins Carey School of Business.

Under Dr. Gleason and Dr. Lundy's leadership, Resurgens Orthopaedics cemented its position as one of the most trusted brands in Atlanta and one of the top 10 largest orthopaedic practices in the country. During their tenure, Resurgens Orthopaedics was consistently named a top workplace by several prestigious publications, topped numerous "Best Of" lists annually and its doctors were recognized as best-in-class by the Castle Connelly awards, among many others. Dr. Gleason will remain as a consultant to the Board and executive team.
