Frequently Asked Questions

Board certification and specialized experience are essential. Look for a surgeon who explains all your options, both nonsurgical and surgical, and prioritizes what’s right for you. Quick access matters, especially for acute injuries. At Fondren Orthopedic Group, our 40+ board-certified surgeons across 14 Houston locations specialize in joint replacement, spine care, sports medicine, fracture care, pain management, and rehabilitation. We offer same-day evaluations and patient-centered care from start to finish.

Choose a specialist who is board-certified with fellowship training in their field. They should offer both nonsurgical and surgical options, explain your choices clearly, and provide modern techniques like minimally invasive procedures. Continuity of care matters too. Fondren’s surgeons bring this comprehensive approach to every visit. Each specialist is board-certified with advanced training, and you’ll receive personalized care through evaluation, treatment, and recovery within our coordinated network.

Different orthopedic specialists focus on specific areas.

  • Joint replacement surgeons address hip, knee, and shoulder arthritis.
  • Spine specialists treat back and neck conditions like herniated discs and stenosis.
  • Sports medicine doctors manage athletic injuries.
  • Fracture specialists focus on broken bones and trauma.
  • Arthritis specialists provide care for chronic joint pain.
  • Pain management specialists use injections and other targeted techniques.
  • Physical medicine and rehabilitation doctors guide recovery after surgery or injury.

Fondren offers all these specialties in one place, so you’ll find the right expert for your needs.

Board certification means a surgeon completed medical school, a 5-year orthopedic residency, and passed exams verifying expertise and judgment. Board-certified surgeons stay current with the latest techniques and technology through ongoing education. Hospitals and insurance companies independently verify board certification before credentialing, adding accountability. Research shows board-certified surgeons achieve better outcomes and lower complication rates.
