Orthopedic Specialists of SW Florida, one of Fort Myers’ first multi-specialty orthopedic practices is celebrating its 10th year serving the community.

Founders Dr. Jeffrey Richards and Dr. Charles Springer set out to establish our area’s only fellowship-trained group practice specializing in a variety of surgical and nonsurgical orthopedic services designed to provide patient care from diagnosis to recovery and beyond.  Today, the practice serves several Lee County hospitals and employs 109.
