Your Holistic Orthopedic Care

Since 2022
Built by two surgeons who saw the gap.
Asian Orthopedics – Spine and Joints Center is Cebu's premier specialized, holistic orthopedic facility and ambulatory surgical clinic. Dr. Pierre M. Mella's practice began under the Asian Orthopedics name in 2017, and the Center was formally established in 2022 together with Dr. Claire Marie Durban-Mella — born out of a clear and urgent need: to give orthopedic patients, many of whom are disabled or have difficulty with mobility, a comfortable, world-class outpatient alternative to hospital care that is both accessible and convenient.
