Grand Opening Of Florida Orthopaedic Institute Celebrated

Florida Orthopaedic Institute celebrated the grand opening in November of its new Brandon office, located at the Brandon Gateway Medical Plaza, 560 S. Lakewood Dr.

Florida Orthopaedic Institute relocated on September 10, 2018 to a larger facility to accommodate its growing practice in the Brandon community and to offer high-end technology and amenities. These enhancements include advanced X-ray and MRI machines as well as an Orthopaedic Urgent Care, their second urgent care center in Tampa specializing in orthopedics, offering faster service and lower cost than an emergency room.

Florida Orthopaedic Institute’s Urgent Care is open during both regular business hours and extended hours Monday through Saturday. No appointment is necessary, and all ages are welcome. Patients experiencing an unexpected bone, joint or muscle injury, can visit the only urgent care centers in Tampa Bay specializing in orthopedics.

Greater Riverview Chamber of Commerce (GRCC) members were happy to be invited to celebrate the Opening of Philly Pretzel Factory! The extremely large crowd was treated to delicious hot pretzels.
