A cut above - EPH surgical services Aaron Florence, D.O., orthopedic surgeon, will be speaking to the Rotary Club of Estes Park on Thursday, August 8, at their regular noon meeting. Dr. Florence will talk about Estes Park Health’s General and Orthopedic Surgical Services. Please note the club's new meeting location at Nicky’s Restaurant. A native of Idaho, Dr. Florence received his B.S. degree in Biology from Idaho State University and went on to obtain his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine from A.T. Still University, Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine in Kirksville, Missouri. 
Aaron Florence, D.O. He completed his residency at the New York Institute of Technology-New York College of Osteopathic Medicine at Peninsula Hospital Center in the North Shore Long Island Jewish Health System. He completed his sub-specialty fellowship training in sports medicine at the Barton/Lake Tahoe Orthopedic Sports Medicine Fellowship in Zephyr Cove, Nevada. During his residency in New York City and Long Island and his fellowship training in Lake Tahoe, Dr. Florence trained and performed surgery in 14 different hospitals with team physicians of the NY Yankees, NY Jets, NY Islanders, National Basketball Association Referees, U.S. Open Tennis, Professional Golf Association, U.S. Ski Team, U.S. Snowboarding, U.S. Figure Skating, U.S. Merchant Marine Academy Football at Kings Point, Nassau Community College Football, and Hofstra University Football. Throughout his training, a recurrent theme emerged as surgeon after surgeon would say the same thing—the ultimate compliment in the world of orthopedic surgery: "You have good hands." With those good hands, Dr. Florence excelled in many of the subspecialties of orthopedic surgery, including sports medicine, joint replacements and fracture care. With such a diverse skill set, his focus could not be limited to only one orthopedic subspecialty. Instead, he confidently set out to provide excellent orthopedic care and started the Orthopedic Surgery and Sports Medicine Service Line at Estes Park Health in 2010. This new service line has provided the residents of Estes Park, with advanced, ultramodern orthopedic care without having to travel down to the Front Range. In this capacity, Dr. Florence provides orthopedic care to various joints, including hips, knees, and shoulders. He performs surgical procedures, including arthroscopy, fracture care, and total joint replacements of the hips, knees, shoulders and elbows. With his additional sports medicine training, he performs many other specialized surgeries in both the young and older injured athlete, including hip arthroscopy, rotator cuff repair and ACL reconstruction. He is both a Board Certified Orthopedic Surgeon and a Board Certified Orthopedic Sports Medicine Subspecialist. Having grown up in a small Idaho town and living in the Midwest and New York, Dr. Florence and his wife and five children are excited to be living in Estes Park. |
