South Florida Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine has provided the most advanced, comprehensive orthopaedic care available with the largest and top-rated group of orthopaedic experts on the Treasure Coast.
At South Florida Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine, we recognize that you have plenty of choices when it comes to orthopaedic care and that’s why everything we do is designed to put our patients first.
We provide the fastest access to the best orthopaedic care possible —from head to toe. We work as a team, treating the whole body, to give you the best outcome.
The goal of South Florida Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine and our outstanding team of 21 skilled specialists is to help patients ‘‘Feel Better Faster.’’
COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE
It’s not a slogan, but a commitment to excellence in orthopaedic care, says William E. Carlson, MD, a founding partner of South Florida Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine, established in 1995.
“South Florida Orthopaedics was founded on the principals of providing the highest quality care to our patients and to always place the ‘patient first,’ “ Dr. Carlson said. “We continue to grow and expand our services to our communities with providers that uphold this same standard.”
South Florida Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine has four convenient locations: Tradition, Stuart, Hobe Sound and Jupiter to serve patients along the Treasure Coast, including Fort Pierce, Port St. Lucie, Jensen Beach, Stuart, Palm City, Hobe Sound, and Jupiter, as well as Indiantown and Okeechobee.
South Florida Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine also offers same-day and next-day appointments so you can avoid unnecessary ER wait times and expenses with our Ortho Injury Walk-in Clinic at the Tradition location in Port St. Lucie. And we’re proud to announce that we expanded our services on the Treasure Coast in November by opening an Ortho Injury Walk-in Clinic in Hobe Sound.
All of our facilities offer comprehensive, state-of-the-art orthopaedic care in a warm, welcoming and professional environment.
