WHITE OAK — Wellington Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine has consolidated two of its offices at 5589 Cheviot Road.

        The office will be staffed with five physicians with specialties including arthritis surgery, podiatry and sports injury care. By August, two additional physicians will join the staff at the Cheviot Road location.

        Wellington maintains six offices in Hamilton County and one in Butler County. Information: www.wellingtonortho.com or 245-2500.
