Patient Care Spotlight - Jeff F.

Orthopedic Specialists Blog Patient Care Spotlight - Jeff F.
Jeff F., surgical and clinical assistant at Orthopedic Specialists of Palm Harbor

Jeff F., a certified athletic trainer, is also one of the friendly and helpful faces patients see when they visit our doctors at Orthopedic Specialists. Versatile and helpful, he brings patient back to the clinic area, fits braces – “whatever I can do to help them feel better,” he says.

He recently passed his exam to become a surgical assistant and will work primarily with Dr. Scott Brotherton. "This is a dream come true," he says. 

A former high school baseball player, Jeff is a licensed and certified athletic trainer. After receiving his college degree, he worked as an intern for the Minnesota Twins’ spring training facility in Fort Myers, and later at a college and several high schools.

While working as a trainer at Tarpon Springs High School, he worked closely with Dr. Brotherton, the team’s doctor. Jeff came to work with Orthopedic Specialists in July 2021 – and has never looked back.  

“I enjoy seeing people make progress,” he says. “I see them at their worst in the beginning, and by their last visit, it’s gratifying to see the physical and mental changes.”

Jeff and his wife, who is also an athletic trainer, live in Pasco County. They enjoy cheering on the local high school teams.
