Why choose Cleveland Clinic in Florida?
When you choose our team for orthopaedic surgery, you benefit from:

- Results-driven surgery: Our specialists track numerous outcomes metrics so we can offer the most effective treatments. We follow up with patients for decades, longer than anywhere else in the country. Up to 90% of patients who have a joint replacement with us experience pain relief and improved function long-term.
- Academic, research-driven experts: Our board-certified physicians are among the most published experts in South Florida and the Treasure Coast. As a research-driven institution, we continually stay on top of the latest treatments. Our patients have access to the newest, most advanced options.
- Full range of surgical options: Our orthopaedic surgeons offer the full range of surgical options, including joint replacements, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, rotator cuff repairs and hand surgery. We create treatment plans designed to meet each patient’s needs and goals.
- Comprehensive rehabilitation: After surgery, our rehabilitation and sports therapy team helps you recover and restore function. We even offer some patients prehabilitation, a therapy designed to increase your strength before surgery. Prehabilitation and post-surgery rehabilitation help you heal from surgery efficiently and effectively.
