Casey Beleckas, M.D.
Shoulder And Elbow Surgeon
When Casey Beleckas, M.D. joined the Levy Shoulder to Hand Center at the Paley Orthopedic & Spine Institute in 2024, she knew she’d found the right fit for her medical practice. Specializing in shoulder and elbow treatment, Dr. Beleckas can do everything from a shoulder replacement to rotator cuff repair to tennis elbow treatment.
“If you come to me with a shoulder problem, no matter what it is, I can fix it,” she says. “I like being an expert on a body part. What needs to be done, I can figure it out. I’m going to do what’s best for you.”
To make sure she comes up with the best treatment options for her patients, Dr. Beleckas takes the time to talk with her patients, to fully understand their needs. Going straight to surgery may not be the right approach, so she wants to evaluate the situation in order to prescribe an effective treatment plan.
“I’m happy to talk through and explain things,” she says. “I want them to know what’s going on. I want them to help make a decision. These are usually decisions we can make together. And then I can execute it as well.”
For her training, Dr. Beleckas completed her undergrad degree at Emory University in Atlanta before moving on to Washington University in St. Louis for medical school.
Then, at Indiana University, she completed her orthopedic surgery residency followed by an American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) accredited shoulder and elbow surgery fellowship with Dr. Jonathan Levy at the Paley Orthopedic and Spine Institute in Boca Raton.
In addition to serving patients, Dr. Beleckas also pursues research focused on improving patient outcomes after surgery as well as teaches fellows at the practice.
“I truly get to have a shoulder elbow practice instead of being a generalist,” she says. “I have the opportunity to teach our fellows.
I get to be involved in research. So it is a dream job.”
