Adam S. Bright, MD

Comprehensive Orthopedic Care serving Sarasota, Bradenton, and Venice

Dr. Bright is a Board Certified Orthopedic Surgeon. He enjoys taking the time to personally see you and not only make the correct diagnosis, but also learn how your lifestyle is being affected. Dr. Bright then presents to you several treatment alternatives, allowing you to pick which is best. Most patients are treated non-surgically through exercise, supplements, medications, and occasionally injections. However, when surgery is the best option, Dr. Bright specializes in hip replacement surgery and knee replacement surgery, as well as arthroscopic surgery and sports medicine.

In knee replacement surgery, he utilizes the latest techniques in computer navigation combined with minimally invasive surgery to maximize your result. Of the 40 orthopedic surgeons in Sarasota who perform knee replacement surgery, he is one of a select few who use computer navigation on every patient to insure accuracy. Computer navigation not only improves the stability, but also decreases the chance of blood clots and the need for blood transfusion.

In hip replacement surgery, Dr. Bright uses a minimally invasive approach as well as innovative pain management techniques to improve recovery. He has performed hundreds of ceramic hip replacements, which have minimal possibility of wearing out. His undergraduate degree in engineering helps him choose the best implants amongst the hundreds available and intuitively perform the most mechanically sound reconstructions of bones and joints.

His athletically inclined patients should feel secure knowing that Dr. Bright understands them. During the training and completion of 2 ironmans and 9 marathons, he has suffered many of the same injuries that patients endure. His knowledge and experience in orthopedic surgery, sports medicine, and fitness help him guide patients toward a complete recovery.

Dr. Bright has the additional honor of being selected to represent his colleagues. Dr. Bright has served for 6 years on the Board of Councilors of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons. He has also served for numerous years on the Executive Board of the Florida Orthopedic Society. He is Past President of the Sarasota County Medical Society, and has served as the Chief of the Orthopedic Section for Sarasota Memorial Hospital. Not only is he Board Certified, but he also is an oral examiner for the American Board of Orthopedic Surgery. He truly loves orthopedic surgery, and would be honored to be your doctor.
