Rothman Orthopaedic Institute, an internationally recognized leader in orthopaedic care, this month opened its first, state-of-the art office in Central Florida. Located at 255 N. Lakemont Ave, Suite 207 in Winter Park, Rothman’s team of board-certified, fellowship-trained physicians will treat various routine and complex musculoskeletal issues at this location.

Rothman Professor and Chairman of the Department of Orthopaedics, and Professor of Neurosurgery at Thomas Jefferson University and Hospitals. “Rothman Orthopaedics’ mindset is to treat patients in and around the communities they live, and our relationship with AdventHealth will help us bolster our world-class service offerings and resources in and around Winter Park.”

“The market demographics and AdventHealth as a health system partner offer a perfect opportunity for the Rothman platform and success,” said Dr. Daryl Osbahr, Managing Director and Chief of Orthopaedic Surgery - Rothman Florida. “We’re excited to continue this expansion while still delivering high quality and in-network care that our patients expect and deserve from Rothman Orthopaedics all under one roof, and is consistent with the Rothman model.”
