Need an Appointment? Celebration Orthopedics is a regional resource for Orlando and all of Central Florida for sports medicine problems, orthopedic injury, trauma and joint replacement. The large orthopedic group is referred patients from across the Orlando, FL region including Jacksonville; Lakeland; Gainesville; Tampa; St. Petersburg; Daytona Beach; and Cocoa Beach. Because of its proximity to the world famous Disneyworld, Celebration Orthopedics sees visiting patients from outside the area who want to access advanced orthopedic consults, second opinions and joint treatment that might not otherwise be available in their own home town. Celebration Orthopedics also treats a large number of athletes, especially golfers, since the orthopedic center is located in the middle of a golf mecca with PGA and LPGA tournaments hosted at the nearby Lake Buena Vista and Lake Nona golf courses.
