Our patients are the focus of all we do at Florida Orthopaedic Institute and our goal is to keep you active. We achieve this by providing you with the best orthopedic solutions for virtually every bone, joint, ligament and muscle in the body.

We are different from other orthopedic groups because our team of highly skilled, board certified physicians and surgeons has advanced training, which allows the highest standard of care. Our surgeons are also fellowship trained, which requires an additional year of study in the orthopedic subspecialties of hand, spine, joint replacement, shoulder and elbow, sports medicine, foot and ankle, and trauma. This expertise is invaluable for proper diagnosis and treatment, providing a level of care unattainable elsewhere in the Tampa Bay Area.

Our philosophy is to first try all appropriate nonsurgical methods to increase mobility and function. This may include medication, bracing, injections, physical and/or occupational therapy, or chiropractic services, all of which we provide. Then, and only then, do we suggest surgery.

We are also proud of our strong partnership with USF Health Morsani College of Medicine. In addition to my role as president and chief medical officer of Florida Orthopaedic Institute, I also chair USF’s Department of Orthopedic Surgery. Together, we can capitalize on our combined strengths and advance academic orthopedics. This combination offers our patients the finest orthopedic treatment and we believe a substantial benefit to our community, patients, residents, students and faculty.

As one of Florida’s largest orthopedic groups, our mission is simple: to provide excellence in clinical outcomes and an exceptional patient experience, while in an environment that fosters growth through teaching, education and research in all aspects of musculoskeletal medicine.

Please let us know if there is anything we can do to further improve your experience. We look forward to serving you!

Sincerely,

Roy Sanders, M.D.President and Chief Medical Officer
