From high school athletes to weekend warriors to those suffering from arthritis, Garvin Yee, M.D., is the one patients turn to for the diagnosis and treatment of elbow, shoulder and knee pain.
Dr. Yee, who is a dual board certified orthopedic surgeon with expertise in sports medicine and knee arthritis, has been practicing at The Center forBone & Joint Surgery of the Palm Beaches for 25 years. He also has been a Castle Connolly TopDoctor since 2008.
He focuses his practice on minimally invasive procedures through the use of arthroscopic surgery as well as nonsurgical therapies, including aquatic therapy; customized bracing; and viscosupplementation (gel) arthritis injections, which are designed to alleviate the pain associated with arthritis in the knees.
Dr. Yee has expertise in regenerative biologics, including PRP (platelet-rich plasma) and cytokine therapy, and he also is a consultant for CBD management options.
He also offers state-of-the-art, minimally invasive radiofrequency TOPAZ treatments for those suffering from tennis elbow. The procedure doesn’t involve a lot of downtime and doesn’t require that the patient wear a cast or brace.
Dr. Yee works alongside 12 other orthopedic specialists who offer a variety of services, including total hip and knee joint replacement, spine surgery, hand surgery, and foot and ankle surgery. The practice has offices in Royal Palm Beach, Wellington, Boynton Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter, Port St. Lucie and Belle Glade.
“Teamwork is important,” says Dr. Yee. “When patients come to us, they know they have the support of a group of skilled professionals to help get them back on their feet.”
