Expert Orthopedic Care for Lake Mary Residents

Lake Mary is known for its active lifestyle, excellent recreational facilities, and thriving business community. Our orthopedic team understands the demands placed on Seminole County residents. We treat weekend warriors recovering from tennis or golf injuries, young athletes sidelined by sports-related conditions, and active professionals who cannot afford to let pain slow them down. We also care for retirees who want to maintain their independence and quality of life despite age-related joint changes.

Whether you come to us after exhausting conservative treatments with your primary care doctor, arrive with an acute injury that needs immediate attention, or seek a second opinion on a recommended surgery, our team provides thorough evaluation, honest communication, and personalized treatment plans. We take the time to understand your goals and develop a path forward that makes sense for your life.

Orthopedic Conditions We Treat

Our orthopedic surgeons treat the full spectrum of musculoskeletal conditions, from acute sports injuries to chronic degenerative conditions. We believe in starting with the least invasive effective treatment, reserving surgery for cases where conservative approaches have not provided adequate relief.

Knee Conditions

Knee problems are among the most common reasons patients visit our Lake Mary office. We treat ACL and meniscus tears, patellofemoral pain, arthritis, and instability. Treatment options range from physical therapy and injections to arthroscopic surgery and knee replacement, including robotic-assisted Makoplasty for precise implant positioning.

Hip Conditions

Hip arthritis, bursitis, labral tears, and fractures can dramatically limit mobility. Our team offers comprehensive hip care including conservative management, hip arthroscopy, and hip replacement surgery. We specialize in anterior hip replacement, a muscle-sparing approach that may allow for faster recovery.

Shoulder Conditions

Rotator cuff tears, shoulder impingement, frozen shoulder, instability, and arthritis can make everyday tasks painful. We provide comprehensive shoulder care including arthroscopic repairs, rotator cuff surgery, and shoulder replacement for patients with severe joint damage.

Hand, Wrist & Elbow

Carpal tunnel syndrome, trigger finger, tennis elbow, fractures, and arthritis affecting the hand and wrist require specialized care. Our fellowship-trained surgeons offer both endoscopic and open surgical techniques, providing options tailored to each patient's specific condition.

Foot & Ankle

Ankle sprains, Achilles tendon problems, plantar fasciitis, bunions, and fractures can sideline even the most active individuals. Dr. Paul Thurston, our double board-certified podiatrist, provides expert foot and ankle care using both surgical and non-surgical approaches.

Spine Conditions

Back pain from herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and degenerative disc disease affects millions of Americans. Our spine specialists take a conservative-first approach, utilizing physical therapy, injections, and other non-surgical treatments before considering surgical options.

Our Orthopedic Services

Our Lake Mary location offers comprehensive orthopedic services, allowing you to receive diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up care in one convenient location close to home.

For acute injuries that cannot wait for a regular appointment, our Anytime Ortho urgent care service provides same-day evaluation by orthopedic specialists. This is a cost-effective alternative to the emergency room where you will see doctors who specialize in musculoskeletal conditions.

Why Lake Mary Patients Choose Us

Board-Certified, Fellowship-Trained Surgeons

Fellowship training represents additional years of specialized education beyond medical school and residency. Our surgeons completed fellowships at institutions like the University of Florida and residencies at the Cleveland Clinic, giving them subspecialty expertise in hand and upper extremity surgery. This advanced training translates to superior surgical skills and better patient outcomes.

Comprehensive Care Under One Roof

From your first consultation through surgery and rehabilitation, we coordinate every aspect of your orthopedic care. Our on-site diagnostic imaging capabilities mean faster diagnoses without traveling to separate imaging centers. We also coordinate closely with physical therapists to ensure seamless transitions between treatment phases.

Advanced Surgical Technology

We use robotic-assisted technology for joint replacement procedures, allowing for exceptional precision in implant positioning. This technology creates a detailed 3D model of your joint and provides real-time guidance during surgery, which can lead to better alignment, improved function, and potentially longer implant longevity.

Same-Day Urgent Care

Acute injuries should not wait for weeks. Our Anytime Ortho service provides walk-in access during business hours, allowing you to see an orthopedic specialist the same day your injury occurs. You will receive expert care from doctors who treat musculoskeletal injuries daily, not a general ER physician who may ultimately need to refer you to a specialist anyway.

Convenient Location

Our Lake Mary office on Lake Mary Boulevard provides easy access from I-4 and serves patients throughout Seminole County, including Sanford, Longwood, Altamonte Springs, Winter Springs, Casselberry, and Oviedo. We offer the same quality care as larger hospital systems in a more accessible, patient-friendly setting.
