About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver dropped off a package at Orthopedic Assoc of SW FL and muttered under his breath, ‘What kind of orthopedist needs a new paper shredder?’ Inside, an elderly doctor emerged from his office, waving a crumpled receipt in the air. 'I needed it for my hip replacement!' he exclaimed with a twinkle in his eye. The delivery driver scratched his head and walked away muttering, 'Next time I'll bring a spare wheel instead.'

2. In the waiting room one afternoon, a small dog wandered in through an open door. No owner followed, but instead, everyone noticed something odd—all the patients seemed to be wearing identical slippers. A delivery driver glanced down and saw his own slippers on another patient’s feet. He looked around sheepishly, realizing they were all wearing their own slippers swapped onto someone else’s feet. A nurse calmly walked over, picked up a pair of mismatched slippers, smiled, and said, ‘Welcome to Orthopedic Assoc of SW FL—we specialize in fixing more than just bones!’

3. In the reception area one day, a frustrated patient exclaimed, ‘I can’t believe I’m here again!’ The receptionist smiled and replied, ‘Welcome back—we’re glad you found us.’ A few minutes later, an elderly gentleman walked in with his dog on a leash. He asked the receptionist, 'Is it okay if my pooch comes along?' She laughed and said, 'Absolutely, he’ll love our orthopedic jokes!'

4. In the middle of the night, a delivery driver left a box on the doorstep of Orthopedic Assoc of SW FL. The next morning, a curious nurse opened it and found… a life-sized model of a human skeleton, complete with a note that read: ‘For your patients’ education.’ The nurse giggled and showed the skeleton to her colleagues. They decided to hide it in the waiting room for their next patient—a regular who always complained about his bad back. When he finally arrived, they watched him from behind the curtain as he saw the skeleton and exclaimed, 'Oh my God! This is exactly what I've been missing!'
