FOI 2023 Annual Report

A commitment to world-class care 

Florida Orthopaedic Institute at Tampa General Hospital was named one of America’s Best Hospitals for Orthopedics by U.S. News & World Report for 2022-2023 with special recognition as “High Performing” in knee and hip replacement.

The strategic partnership between Florida Orthopaedic Institute and TGH attracts and serves hundreds of thousands of patients every year. In 2023, FOI specialists provided care to nearly 200,000 patients across 26 locations and performed more than 50,000 surgeries.

As Service Line Chief of the Florida Orthopaedic Institute at Tampa General Hospital, my role is to ensure that we maintain our rigorous standards. I can personally attest to the work ethic and commitment our world-class faculty provides to every one of our patients.

TGH specializes in complex orthopedic procedures, ranging from pediatric to geriatric. Our hip and knee joint replacement programs utilize the latest robotic surgery techniques and, in many cases, same day surgery to maximize potential for positive outcomes and minimize complications.

TGH is the region’s only high-volume referral center for revision joint replacement surgery, while simultaneously supporting all of Florida as the highest volume center of excellence for reverse shoulder and total ankle replacement surgery. 

We are home to the only Level I Trauma Center in the region and function as the only regional referral center that specializes in bone and joint infections. The Level I Hand Center at TGH demonstrates superior results in the replantation and reattachment of severed fingers or hands due to traumatic amputation. 

Every orthopedic surgeon on our staff is board certified and fellowship trained in their area of expertise. Our expansive and well-funded clinical research program leads the way in best practices and innovative technologies. 

It is a privilege and an honor to lead our practice and the orthopedic surgery program at TGH. Together, we continue to expand access and raise the standard of musculo-skeletal care in Florida.
