Job description

Since 1972, Orlando Orthopaedic Center has remained independently owned and has grown to include 28 orthopaedic specialists across multiple subspecialties, many of whom are recognized leaders amongst their peers nationwide.

The team at Orlando Orthopaedic Center delivers cost-effective, comprehensive coordinated patient care throughout Central Florida and beyond.

We have nine Orlando Orthopaedic Center locations throughout Central Florida, plus a state-of-the-art outpatient surgery center at the heart of our downtown campus located in the trendy SoDo Shopping District just south of downtown Orlando. To provide more immediate care, we have opened several orthopaedic injury walk-in clinics located throughout Orlando and the surrounding communities.

For over 40 years, our team of physicians and support staff have been getting Central Floridians back to work, back to play and back to making a difference in our community.

Each year we are proud to recognize the achievements of our many employees, some of whom have been part of our family for 20, 25 and even 30 years.

Our team of independent physicians at Orlando Orthopaedic Center serve as team doctors throughout our community at many area high schools. Our 501 (c)(3) nonprofit foundation provides sports scholarships and continuing education opportunities throughout the year. Many of our doctors teach, serve on national boards and even find time to lead research efforts in their subspecialties.

Whether it is supporting the local Arthritis Foundation in their annual walk or providing pre-participation sports physicals to high school students, our team at Orlando Orthopaedic Center is actively making a difference throughout Central Florida.
