Full Job Description
Meet Dr. Jeffrey D. Stone, MD
Position Summary
Under the supervision of Dr. Stone, Florida Orthopaedic Institute is seeking an experienced Advanced Practice Provider (APP) to support a high-volume upper extremity–focused orthopaedic practice, with a strong emphasis on hand and wrist surgery. This role is designed for a clinically confident PA or NP who is comfortable progressing toward independent clinic management while actively participating in surgical care.
The APP will play a critical role in maintaining clinic flow, managing patient volume, and providing continuity of care across multiple clinic locations. The position includes a structured onboarding and training period, with the expectation that the APP will transition into a high level of autonomy in the clinic setting once credentialed and fully ramped.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced orthopaedic APP seeking a long-term role within a collaborative, physician-led practice that values clinical ownership, patient relationships, and professional growth.

- Experience with injections and in-office orthopaedic procedures

Key Responsibilities
- Provide comprehensive patient care in clinic and surgical settings, including pre-operative and post-operative management
- Conduct detailed patient histories, physical exams, and orthopaedic evaluations focused on upper extremity conditions
- Independently manage clinic schedules following training, including new patient visits, follow-ups, and post-operative care
- Review and interpret diagnostic imaging, including X-rays, MRI, CT scans, and nerve studies
- Perform in-office procedures and injections (shoulder, elbow, wrist, fingers, and other joints as appropriate)
- Serve as first assist in the operating room, including surgical exposure, assistance, and closure
- Participate in post-operative rounds and care coordination as needed
- Field patient calls and address clinical concerns in collaboration with the physician and administrative team

- Adhere to FOI standards related to patient safety, professionalism, and quality of care
- Participate in ongoing education, training, and professional development activities
- Perform other duties as assigned to support practice needs
