Whenever someone feels sick they visit a general doctor, but when someone encounters an injury or pain surrounding their joints or muscles, they are referred to an orthopedic surgeon. Orthopedic surgeons specialize in musculoskeletal problems, and these doctors also treat patients with issues like scoliosis, broken bones, torn muscles, and even removing tumors. In Florida, even the elderly engage in physical activities as if they were young, this leads to many musculoskeletal issues, and Florida has become one of the major hotspots for orthopedic surgeries. With such a high demand for orthopedic surgeons, this state offers some of the best doctors in this field.
Dr. David Abbasi
A lot of patients will come in with these injuries of the knee, shoulder, and other body parts, and my decision depends on the patient’s goal, so the way I treat one patient may be completely different than how I treat the next patient with the same problem. I will do anything in my power to try to get them back to whatever they want to do.”
Working in the Boynton Beach area, Dr. David Abbasi is among one of the best orthopedic surgeons in the state. He has worked with various professional athletes. While he doesn’t formally provide teaching, Dr. Abbasi has given lectures in the past. He is also greatly active on his social media to provide medical updates of his patients, and he does have a Youtube channel where he educates his audience about sports injuries, especially around MMA and general orthopedic procedures. Just by looking at his social media, one can tell that Dr. Abbasi is a fan of boxing and mixed martial arts, although he doesn’t participate in the sport himself. Even his patients, who are not professional sportspersons, speak of him highly. He has also written numerous publications on complications such as impingement and immobilized muscles due to injuries and the treatments of the mentioned problems.
Specialization
Since Dr. Abbasi keeps up with sports regularly, it doesn’t come as a surprise that he specializes in sports medicine and arthroscopic surgery, and he has extensive hands-on experience in this field working with top athletes in the world. In addition to sports medicine, his expertise also includes both non-surgical and surgical treatments like rehabilitation using the medicine, and minimally invasive surgeries and open reconstructive treatments (knees, shoulder, and elbow), respectively. Also, he doesn’t take the cookie-cutter approach, instead, he makes special treatment plans for each patient. Due to his unique approach to treatment, he is consulted by patients throughout the nation.

Dr. Jorge I. Acevedo
Well, the wonderful thing about being a foot and ankle surgeon is that I get to treat the whole age spectrum and all different kinds of injuries, all from kids with injuries that occur at school to athletes with sports injuries and instability to the older population with arthritic conditions, deformities, bunions, and what not.”
Dr. Jorge I. Acevedo is an excellent orthopedic surgeon who practices in Jacksonville, Florida. While all doctors are known to be professional and maintain composure, Dr. Acevedo is exceptionally calm and approaches his patients out of compassion. He has great knowledge about the orthopedic world, not just the practical aspect of the surgery but the theoretical part of it. He also provides lectures internationally, and he has published over 100 articles related to the treatment and diagnosis of foot and ankle injuries. He has also been a part of numerous conferences where he shares his knowledge with other physicians.
Specialization
Unsurprisingly, Dr. Acevedo specializes in ankle and foot care. He has been treating patients with these issues for over 10 years and having such an exclusive and extensive experience he understands all the complexities and the entire workings of the ankle and foot, for this reason, he is sometimes also referred to as the ankle doctor. People from the entire state as well out of the state visit Dr. Acevedo for his expert consultation regarding the foot. Additionally, one doesn’t have to solely rely on appointments as his clinic also caters to walk-in patients.
Traditionally, we did ankle fusions where you actually glued the joint together. The problem with that is that you’re losing 80 percent of the up and down motion, dorsiflexion, plantar flexion. But now we have at our hand an ankle replacement option, and the nice thing about that is we replace the diseased segments with the components, much the same as total knee replacement or total hip replacement.”

Specialization
Dr. Adams deals in sports injuries, and if one has ever listened to his talks, then, it is easy to tell that he specializes in diagnoses and treatment of the shoulder. Additionally, Dr. Adams completed his fellowship in the only advanced shoulder arthroscopy in the entire country. His competence to treat shoulder has led him to gain such a reputation that all patients with severe shoulder issues are referred to him. Undoubtedly, he has also written several publications on the biomechanics of the shoulder joint.
In terms of putting the anchors, typically, we use a 17 gauge spinal needle and percutaneously insert the anchors. It seems like in the majority of the cases that anteriorly we’re able to go anterior to the acromion, posteriorly though, we either have to go through divisor’s portal or posterior to the acromion or the spine of the scapula.”

Dr. Juan F. Agudelo-Rivera
Well, I love orthopedics since I was in medical school because even a simple surgery will get patients back on track in no time. They will be active again, enjoying their lives, so if they have a broken bone, you just fix it, they get up and walk. If they have arthritis, you give them an injection or physical therapy or a brace or surgery but the patients see the improvement and they can go on with their lives, which is very exciting.”
Dr. Juan Agudelo is a highly-skilled orthopedic surgeon and treating patients fills him with joy as he watches them get better. He also quite enjoy utilizing the latest tools in the world of orthopedics, but even if he is offered a new technology, he only uses it if it is approved by the FDA. With Florida having people from all cultural backgrounds, it can be difficult to come on common ground, but Dr. Juan connects with his patients and reach a mutual solution.
Specialization
Dr. Juan’s area of expertise is the treatment of the hip and knees. Most of his patient base comprises elderly individuals who are living a relatively active lifestyle, and he conducts total hip and knee replacement surgeries and revision surgeries for these body parts as well. For hip surgery, he utilizes a state-of-the-art procedure called Direct Anterior Approach, in this hip replacement is done between the muscles. This allows for the protection of hip tendons and patients who undergo this procedure are able to walk after a couple of hours of the surgery. When it comes to knee replacement, he uses minimally invasive techniques. He makes minimal incisions, uses a Surgical Navigation System, and robotics to improve the alignment of the knee.
What I recommend to my patients is if you have joint pain in hip or knee and you tried resting, elevation, ice, and some Advil and that pain is not getting better, you need to get that pain checked. Because sometimes it can just be a sprain, a strain, torn muscle, or tendon, but sometimes it can be serious. It is very important to have at least an orthopedic doctor see your X-ray and do a full assessment to make sure that by continuing your routine activity you are not doing more damage to your joints.”

Dr. Vladimir Alexander
We tend to think that people with active lifestyles, the weekend warrior types are the only ones who have to worry about physical injuries. But sitting in front of a computer all day also can lead to numerous issues, from back problems to an aching neck. And over time, what start out as mild symptoms can develop into more serious, and even debilitating, conditions.”
Currently, living in St. Petersburg, Dr. Vladimir Alexander is one of the leading orthopedic surgeons for the treatment of the hip and knee. He is known to be compassionate towards his patients, he doesn’t treat patients as a piece of meat but as a person. He ensures all of his patients are relaxed and well informed prior to the procedure. Additionally, he continually contributes to the medical world by tweaking the existing techniques, so that they can be even more efficient, and he has also established a training facility for the education of physicians on the latest surgical techniques. He has also written a publication with the title Adolescent Quadriceps Mechanism Disruption.
Specialization
Dr. Vladimir Alexander specializes in the treatment of large joints, i.e., hip, knee, and shoulder. Having a particular interest in the hip joint, he also developed a procedure over the years during his practice called the SMART Total Hip joint replacement procedure. This procedure minimizes the risk for post-surgical issues, which is a huge relief for patients. Additionally, he is also among the few orthopedic surgeons in Florida that provide outpatient service for hip and knee surgery. The idea behind this is that when patients are at home, they are more likely to recover because of a familiar environment.
Essentially, I have taken all the techniques that I have learned and developed my own modification of those techniques. It is a semi-posterior approach, it is done from the side of the patient, and it is done in a manner in which we can decrease the risks of post-operative complications like post-operative dislocation, which is one of the concerns with the traditional posterior approach. So this is a technique I have been using for over the last 15 to 18 years and it has sort of become the standard of care in the practice.”

Dr. Sheyan Armaghani
My philosophy is that the more you know about your condition and the expectation of the surgery, the better that you will ultimately do. I believe that by laying out all the facts as we know them, gives you and your family the most knowledge to make the right decision.”
Although Dr. Sheyan Armaghani doesn’t possess decades of experience in orthopedic surgery, he is one of the best orthopedic surgeons in Florida. He believes a procedure can only be successful if both patient and the doctor trust each other, for this reason, he patiently works with individuals to build mutual trust. He also likes to break down the complexity of the procedures into easy-to-understand concepts for his patients. Dr, Armaghani is extremely competent at this job, but he also enjoys sports, he particularly enjoys football, and he also played for the University of Florida.
Specialization
Dr. Armaghani specializes in one of the most complex and vulnerable parts of the human body, the spine. He deals in degenerative spine conditions, treatment of neck and pain due to spine, and all the other spine-related issues. Although he is an orthopedic surgeon, he uses a multidisciplinary approach to treat his patients with non-surgical options. He is also trained in motion preservation and minimally invasive techniques to allow patients to enjoy their favorite activities once again.
The future of spine care though is about patient personalization. None of the thousands of patients that I have treated have been exactly the same, there’s always been something different whether it’s the way the patient interprets their pain or the way that their MRI looks.”

Dr. Jahangir John Asghar
For my specific role, I know my patients for 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 years, hopefully until I retire and even after that, so my relationships have to be very personal and I think, it is one of those things where not only where I have a very personal relation with my patient but my whole team does.”
