Orthopedics
The term “sports medicine” is a misnomer, says John J. Feldman, M.D., a board-certified orthopedic surgeon with South Palm Orthopedics in Delray Beach. “We don’t just take care of athletes,” says Dr. Feldman. He explains that while sports medicine specialists like himself do care for athletes, they also treat non-athletes with knee or shoulder pain, rotator cuff tears or other injuries.
Dr. Feldman treats injuries to the shoulder, elbow, hip and knee, specializing in arthroscopic procedures and sports medicine procedures. He also does knee replacement surgery including robotic assisted knee replacement and partial knee replacement. He has extensive experience in treating athletes at the high school, collegiate and professional levels. “I love seeing someone come in with a problem or dysfunction and getting them back to doing what they want to do pain free,” says Dr. Feldman. “They can live life and return to pickleball or gardening or an athlete can get back on the field.”
He takes the time to evaluate a patient’s injury or problem. He’ll work with you to determine the best treatment options. His goal is to get patients healthy, enjoying their lives and back to their sport or activity as quickly and painlessly as possible. He is a proponent of doctor-patient communication and patient-centric care. “I don’t just take a cookie-cutter approach,” says Dr. Feldman. “I work with the individual patient and listen to their needs and goal of care.”
Dr. Feldman trained at the University of Tennessee-Campbell Clinic. Following his residency, Dr. Feldman completed a fellowship in sports medicine at Andrews Sports Medicine and Orthopedic Center in Alabama. Dr. Feldman grew up in Maryland and attended Denison University. He completed medical school at West Virginia University School of Medicine.
He was the team physician for the University of West Alabama football team, helped treat athletes from the University of Alabama, and has covered collegiate as well as minor league baseball including the AAA Memphis Redbirds and AA Birmingham Barons.
South Palm Orthopedics offers surgical and nonsurgical treatments including arthroscopic surgery, joint reconstruction, regenerative injections, and physical and occupational therapy.
