Orthopaedic Institute of North Mississippi merging, rebranding
TUPELO – In a blockbuster three-way merger, Tupelo-based Orthopaedic Institute of North Mississippi, Jackson-based Mississippi Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Center and Oxford-based Oxford Ortho and Sports Medicine will rebrand under the Mississippi Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Center name, effective Aug. 4. Following the merger, MSMOC will have 32 doctors and 33 advanced practice providers at 18 locations, creating the largest network of orthopedic specialists in the state and one of the most comprehensive in the Southeast. Founded in 1984, Mississippi Sports Medicine has locations in Jackson, Flowood, Madison, Brookhaven, Ruleville and Yazoo City. MSMOC surgeons were the first of five in the U.S. and the first in Mississippi performing outpatient joint replacements. The group performs over half the total joint replacements in the state. It has the largest orthopaedic joint center in the country, the first in the state, and it was one of the first three centers in the U.S. to perform orthopaedic joint replacements. Dr. Eric Lewis, fellowship-trained orthopedic hand surgeon at OINMS, said joining forces with MSMOC would benefit more people in the region. 'For decades, we have earned our reputation by providing exceptional, patient-focused care in Tupelo and across North Mississippi,' he said. 'Teaming up with Mississippi Sports Medicine will strengthen our statewide collaboration and expand access to cutting-edge treatments and specialized expertise for the region and people we serve.' In a press release, OINMS said its physicians and staff "remain committed to the advanced orthopedic and sports medicine care their neighbors across the region have trusted for nearly three decades." OINMS said Mississippi Sports Medicine had "built a reputation for orthopedic excellence through its clinics and fellowship programs, which have trained several orthopedic physicians in the area, and Oxford Ortho's team has been its region's leader since the 1990s. By partnering with their colleagues in Jackson and Oxford, the Tupelo team is able to extend its legacy across Mississippi and the Southeast." As the three groups merge their operations over the next couple of months, patients will continue to be seen at the same locations by the same physicians. "The name will change, but the same doctors that have been trusted by the Tupelo and North Mississippi community for decades will remain the same," the press release said. 'As someone who completed my sports medicine fellowship at Mississippi Sports Medicine, I'm excited to deepen our collaboration with the Jackson team,' said Dr. Bryan Fagan, an OINMS orthopedic surgeon. 'Together, we'll bring more innovation and specialized expertise to patients across North Mississippi.' Leading up to the launch of the new brand on Aug. 4, residents and patients will see the new name on signage, materials and communications. 'Orthopedics is a team sport,' said Dr. J.R. Woodall, a spine surgeon based in Jackson. 'I've long respected the Oxford and Tupelo teams, and this evolution will unlock new opportunities in research, education and cutting-edge care for every Mississippian.' Orthopaedic Institute of North Mississippi was born of a merger in 2018 when North East Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine and North Mississippi Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Clinic of Tupelo joined forces and moved the practice to Midtown Pointe.

Eric's restaurant in Dubai to close Safa branch
Eric Lewis, owner of popular Goan restaurant Eric's in Dubai, has announced his Safa branch will close on June 16, after six years of being in service. In a heartfelt post on Instagram, delivered in his trademark tongue-in-cheek style, Lewis said: 'Although I don't look a day older, it is time to slow down and spend time with family.' Fans of Eric's excellent potato chops and pomfret rechaedo, need not fret too much, though, as Lewis confirmed Eric's will still have a presence in Dubai. 'I am not going anywhere.' The Karama branch, which launched in 2006, will remain open. Calling it the OG restaurant, and the heart and soul of Eric's, Lewis said: 'Karama is where it all began and now the branch will be its one and only home. I will finally get to see all of you in one place.' While the restaurant serves Mughlai and Indian-Chinese dishes, it is the Goan section of its menu that is worth sampling. The coastal Indian city is known for its flavourful seafood preparation, including dishes such as fried Bombay duck, pickled mackerel, crab xec-xec and traditional Goan prawn curry. Beef, while contentious in some parts of India, is a staple of Goan cuisine. Eric's has been serving Lewis's family recipe of beef croquettes and beef vindaloo since the Karama branch opened in 2006. While vegetarians are not exactly well catered for, the restaurant does serve a mean dal makhani and the aforementioned potato chops. For dessert, you cannot go wrong with the creme caramel.

Milwaukee burglaries, neighboring small businesses hit days apart
The Brief Two businesses were burglarized on Milwaukee's south side. The owners of the neighboring businesses believe the same suspect is responsible for both crimes. After the back-to-back break-ins, they want the public to be on the lookout. MILWAUKEE - Two Milwaukee businesses were burglarized on the city's south side less than two days apart. The owners believe one suspect is responsible for both. What they're saying The owners of BC Modern, a vintage store near Chase and Oklahoma, told FOX6 News someone broke in on Wednesday morning. The suspect, dressed in black, was caught on camera stealing jewelry. SIGN UP TODAY: Get daily headlines, breaking news emails from FOX6 News "I could see the jewelry cases and displays kind of scattered all throughout the floor," co-owner Eric Lewis said. Lewis said he called police when he found out, but he said it was not only jewelry that was stolen. The small business' sense of peace was also taken. "This place is our sanctuary," he said. "I've worked really, really hard to make sure this is a safe place for her and so the violation is what really hurts me the most." It is a violation the owners of La Salsa, a restaurant located next door, are feeling, too. On Monday afternoon, BC Modern's cameras showed a suspect – who appeared to be wearing the same clothing – sneak into the restaurant.

What's next After back-to-back break-ins, the owners of both businesses want the public to be on the lookout. "We've made a lot of adjustments in the last couple of days to make sure that something like this can't happen again, and it's back to business for us," said Lewis. The owners of BC Modern said burglaries hurt small businesses' bottom line, but they're not letting this hold them back. FOX6 News reached out to the Milwaukee Police Department for an update on the search for the suspect, but did not hear back by the deadline for this story. Editor's note: FOX6 translated Santa Cruz's comments from Spanish to English. The Source FOX6 News interviewed the owners for information in this report.
