Our History
In 1968 Orthopedic Specialties George A. Morris, M.D. started the practice and since that time Orthopaedic Specialties family has grown to the seven physicians and seven specialty orthopedic practices that it is today. Orthopaedic Specialties continues a tradition of more than five decades of dedication to outstanding patient care in Pinellas County. Orthopedic Specialties of Tampa Bay has been providing a full spectrum of orthopedic care in Pinellas County for 50 years. Throughout these years we have treated many generations of Pinellas County families. We know that in this day and age, families are faced with many difficult decisions and concerns. Getting quality health care should not be one of them. At Orthopaedic Specialties delivering quality health care is our first concern. Our orthopedic surgeons are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and we offer same-day appointments for urgent problems. For more details, or to schedule an appointment, please call us and talk to any of our caring and knowledgeable orthopedic staff.
In March of 2023, Orthopaedic Specialties joined forces with Florida Orthopaedic Institute to increase our network and access to all specialties of Orthopaedic Care throughout Pinellas and now Hillsborough County. We are now Orthopaedic Specialties – A Division of Florida Orthopaedic Institute. The name may have changed but the family care and continued tradition of outstanding service and Board-Certified surgeons has not. We have been a cornerstone of Orthopaedic care in Pinellas County, and we will continue to be for many, many more generations of Pinellas County Families.
