Commons Clinic is a Santa Monica-based healthcare technology company founded in 2021 that operates multi-specialty clinics focused on integrated, physician-led care, starting with orthopedics and spine before expanding into a comprehensive "Wholebody" platform.[1][3][5] It serves patients seeking preventive diagnostics, specialist treatments, and bundled services across musculoskeletal (MSK), cardiovascular, women's health, metabolic, orthopedic, GI, chronic pain, and preventive oncology, solving fragmented specialty care by offering affordable, all-inclusive programs with advanced tech like AI diagnostics and virtual consultations.[1][2][4] With $43.93M raised (including a $26M Series B), 16-17 physicians across nine Southern California locations, and in-network status with major insurers like Aetna and Blue Shield, the company shows strong growth via clinic expansions, payer contracts, and a $100M innovation initiative targeting the $425B U.S. MSK market.[2][3][4]
Commons Clinic was co-founded in 2021 by Nick Aubin (CEO) and Guilherme da Costa (COO) in Los Angeles to provide spinal surgeons an alternative to hospital employment amid inefficient systems.[2][3][5] Aubin, driven by gaps in timely specialist access, and da Costa, emphasizing affordability and innovation, launched with three clinics in Century City, Santa Monica, and Marina del Rey, focusing on orthopedics, spine care, pain management, and physiatry.[2] Early traction came from negotiating risk-bearing payer contracts, investing $9.75M in an advanced MSK ambulatory surgery center (ASC), and achieving over 3x year-over-year growth, paving the way for "Commons Clinic 2.0"—a multi-specialty evolution announced alongside the $26M Series B.[1][4]
Commons Clinic rides the shift from fragmented, hospital-dominated care to tech-enabled, value-based specialty platforms, capitalizing on payer demands for affordability in the $425B MSK market and rising preventive health trends.[2][4] Timing aligns with AI diagnostics (e.g., Cleerly, GRAIL), post-pandemic telehealth adoption, and insurer incentives for outpatient models, enabling rapid scaling to nine clinics and insurer networks like Aetna and Cigna.[1][3] It influences the ecosystem by attracting elite surgeons, investing in research/outcomes data, and modeling "Mayo Clinic for modern healthcare"—proactive, multisystem care that reduces costs and improves access in competitive markets like LA.[4]
Commons Clinic is poised to dominate integrated specialty care by deploying its $100M innovation fund, expanding beyond SoCal, and leveraging Wholebody's diagnostic edge for nationwide growth amid aging populations and chronic disease rises.[1][2] Trends like AI-driven prevention, bundled payments, and ASC proliferation will accelerate its trajectory, potentially evolving it into a full-stack health platform rivaling Cleveland Clinic. As it quantifies health risks for whole-person intervention, Commons redefines accessible specialty care from the ground up.[1][4]
Commons Clinic has raised $26.0M across 2 funding rounds. Most recently, it raised $20.0M Series A in October 2023.
