Grant G. Garlick, MD

About Dr. Garlick

Dr. Garlick is board certified by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery and is dual fellowship trained in Joint Replacement and Sports Medicine. He completed his medical training at the University of South Florida in Tampa and his residency in New Jersey. After completing his residency, he completed 2 Fellowships at the Florida Orthopaedic Institute.

Dr. Garlick is primarily a knee expert, focusing his attention in all areas of the knee for the young and old, including complex cartilage restoration, ligament reconstruction, meniscus repair, and joint resurfacing. A large part of his practice involves non-operative treatment for knee conditions using biological enhancements such as stem cells and PRP. Additionally, he uses these same modalities surgically to enhance cartilage repairs, meniscus repairs, and ligament reconstruction. He is trained in robotic surgery, computer navigation, arthroscopy, and minimally invasive surgery for knee replacement.

He has been performing outpatient same day surgery total and partial knee replacements for over 12 years and was the first to perform one at FOI. He has been trained in & utilizes computer navigation with kinematic total knee replacements which more accurately restores native anatomy. After undergoing kinematic TKA, his patient experienced better motion, activity level, faster recovery, and ultimately better function. Kinematic alignment is truly patient specific, replicating a patient’s native anatomy to achieve optimal results.

Additionally, he has a keen interest in young patients with arthritis or cartilage injuries who require novel approaches to treat these conditions, rather than traditional knee replacements. This includes complex cartilage restoration techniques, re-alignment techniques, joint distraction, and other procedures to heal these issues to help restore patients back to a normal life free of pain.
