Orthopedic Surgeons

Orthopedic surgery is one of the most highly specialized and competitive practices a physician can choose; consequently, orthopedic surgeons are among the best trained and most skilled surgeons in the world.

An orthopedic surgeon’s specialty is treating structural or functional abnormalities in the musculoskeletal system. This wide array of maladies can run the gamut from sports-related injuries to congenital deformities to degenerative spinal conditions such as herniated discs, foraminal stenosis, or degenerative disc disease. Orthopedic surgeons will often specialize in a particular field (pediatric orthopedics, sports medicine, etc.) or in a certain area of the body.

According to the US Department of Labor, no more than four percent of all practicing physicians in the US are orthopedic surgeons, a fact that is no doubt related to the rigorous training and preparation they must endure and the extremely high academic standards to which they are held when applying for residencies. As a result, orthopedic surgery patients can rest assured that their doctor is among the best in the country.

The Team at Laser Spine Institute

We are the professional home of some of the worlds most talented, best trained, and highly regarded orthopedic spine surgeons. In all, the surgical team features six surgeons who are Board Certified in Orthopedic Surgery. Our founder and Chairman of Surgery, Dr. James St. Louis, was recently named to the Florida Board of Osteopathic Medicine and was twice named Physician of the year by the American Association of Physician Specialists. A number of our surgeons are fellows with notable institutions, and many of them left prestigious positions to work with the renowned surgical staff at LSI. Few institutions have a more elite team of surgeons—and none in LSI’s field.
