Medical Excellence Close to Home

There are over 5000 hospitals in the United States. Many are comprehensive teaching
hospitals with reputations for providing quality medical care.

Only 100 have been selected as the Top Orthopedic Hospitals in the United States. Winter Haven Hospital is one of them.

While we have known about our exceptional orthopedic care for years. It is reassuring to know that we have been recognized nationally by Orthopedic Benchmarks For Success, HCIA, 1999.

Our orthopedic surgeons have extensive training and experience and use the very latest equipment and techniques to perform surgery involving hands, knees, ankles, hips, the spine, joint replacements, trauma, and sports injuries.

Like all physicians on the Winter Haven Hospital medical staff, our orthopedic surgeons are required to be board certified, and many of their services are so specialized they are usually only found in academic medical centers hundreds of miles away. There are literally dozens of orthopedic sub-specialty problems and conditions our physicians are prepared to diagnose and treat. If you, or a loved one, need to be evaluated, call one of our surgeons directly or call Winter Haven Hospital's Health Connection at 1(800) 416-6705 or 291-6705 for a referral today.
