First Ever Total Ankle Replacement in Daytona Beach
Performed by Dr. Eric Villarreal, an orthopedic foot and ankle specialist with The Orthopedic Clinic, this innovative procedure marks a significant advancement in the treatment of severe ankle arthritis. Dr. Villarreal, who completed 25 total ankle replacements during his fellowship in orthopedic foot and ankle surgery, brought his expertise to this landmark case—the first of its kind for both The Orthopedic Clinic and Halifax Health.
This collaborative achievement between The Orthopedic Clinic and Halifax Health highlights a shared commitment to push the boundaries of medical innovation while prioritizing patient-centered care. By introducing first-in-the-area procedures like this, both organizations are enhancing mobility and improving lives for patients with complex orthopedic needs.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Halifax Health on such a significant milestone,” said Shannon Stewartson, CEO of The Orthopedic Clinic. “This achievement reinforces our dedication to being the first and only providers in the area to offer advanced orthopedic solutions, contributing to our position as providing expert care in the area.”
