Originally, Pedro A. Piza, M.D., a board-certified orthopedic surgeon with the Orthopedic and Sports Institute at Palm Beach Health Network Physician Group, wanted to work in trauma. He enjoyed the field’s fast pace. However, he realized he only saw patients once. He couldn’t establish a relationship with them, oversee their care or see the results of their care. “Orthopedics is much more rewarding for me.”
Dr. Piza performs orthopedic procedures including hip, knee and shoulder replacement, as well as shoulder and knee minimally invasive arthroscopic repair.
“I strive to diagnose orthopedic conditions by ordering the right tests,” he says. And don’t expect to have to translate medical terminology when you see him. “I speak to my patients in as normal a way as possible to avoid confusion. I treat my patients with compassion and empathy and use surgery as a last resort.”
“I like the way they lived their lives, helping many people,” he says. “I decided I wanted to do that myself.”
For the past 19 years, Dr. Piza has worked as an orthopedic surgeon at Delray Medical Center serving Palm Beach and Broward counties. “I love helping people get back to a normal life.”
Dr. Piza is certified by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery and is fellowship-trained in knee, shoulder and elbow reconstruction and sports medicine. He completed his fellowship at Plancher Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine in Greenwich, CT and New York, NY. He finished a residency in orthopedic surgery and an internship in general surgery at the University of Puerto Rico Medical Center in San Juan, PR., after he received his medical degree from the University of Puerto Rico School of Medicine, San Juan, PR.
