Orthopedics

Eligibility 

Comprehensive orthopedic services are available to active duty service members, National Guard and Reserve members on active duty orders, retirees, and Tricare-eligible dependents (14 years and older) on a referral basis. Your primary care manager must refer you for orthopedic or sports medicine services to be seen in our clinic. 

Services Available 

The MacDill Orthopedic Surgery Clinic staff includes two orthopedic surgeons, two orthopedic physician assistants, and one sports medicine physician. Together they provide a wide array of orthopedic and sports medicine services for more than 240,000 Tricare beneficiaries in the greater Tampa Bay area. 

Our orthopedic surgeons and orthopedic physician assistants treat orthopedic conditions of the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, hip, knee, and ankle. Our surgeons can also perform total joint replacements. Our sports medicine physician specializes in treatment of acute and chronic soft tissue musculoskeletal injuries, as well as ultrasound-guided injection therapy. We do not treat back/spine, complex foot/ankle, or complex hand conditions. 

Appointments 

All routine initial appointments are scheduled through the Referral Management Center. If you’re not contacted by RMC after receiving an orthopedic or sports medicine referral from your PCM, you may call 813-828-2273 to schedule an appointment. After you’ve been seen in our clinic for an initial visit, you may schedule follow-up appointments by calling the Orthopedic Surgery Clinic directly at 813-827-9650.
