General Orthopedics

South Island Orthopedics provides comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for musculoskeletal conditions, including arthritis, fractures, and sports injuries. Our board-certified specialists use advanced imaging and minimally invasive techniques to restore mobility and reduce pain. Patients benefit from personalized care plans tailored to their specific needs, whether through non-surgical therapies or surgical interventions like joint replacements.

Sports Medicine

Specializing in acute and overuse sports injuries, we offer fracture care, ligament repair, and regenerative therapies. Our team develops customized rehabilitation programs to ensure athletes regain strength and return to activity safely. Minimally invasive procedures and orthobiologics accelerate healing, while board-certified expertise guarantees optimal outcomes for both amateur and professional athletes.

Arthroscopy

Arthroscopic procedures address joint issues like torn ligaments, cartilage damage, and bone spurs through small incisions. This approach reduces recovery time, scarring, and postoperative pain. Our surgeons use state-of-the-art tools to treat knees, shoulders, hips, and ankles, prioritizing long-term joint health and functional improvement for patients of all activity levels.

Diagnostic Testing

On-site digital X-rays, ultrasounds, and MRIs enable rapid, accurate diagnosis of orthopedic conditions. These tools assess fractures, joint degeneration, and soft tissue injuries without excessive radiation exposure. Real-time imaging guides precision injections and surgical planning, ensuring timely, targeted treatment for improved patient outcomes.

Hip Surgeries

We perform arthroscopic and total hip replacement surgeries to address arthritis, fractures, and labral tears. Minimally invasive techniques restore mobility with shorter recovery periods, while traditional replacements use durable prosthetics for severe joint damage. Postoperative physical therapy ensures full functional recovery, enabling patients to resume daily activities pain-free.

The doctor didn't even look at me or give a thorough examination of my knee injury. He claimed it was just bruising and didn't require any additional testing, against what the urgent care advised. He told me to come back in a week. For what, if it's just bruising. I went to another orthopedist the same day and they gave a thorough examination, rewrapped my leg and advised me to get an mri because they think it's a torn acl. Maybe he had an off day coming back from a holiday weekend. Regardless I won't be returning.

South Island orthopedics is the best location for any and all injuries. Dr. Freeman along with with the entire staff of South Island orthopedics are by far the most phenomenal, professional and caring staff I have ever encountered. As a professional athlete, I have been to doctors around the world and no one compares to the quality of care. Dr. Freeman has operated on both of my knees and I have returned to full competition with no limitations on my body.

Their office is clean, they are very efficient when you are in for a visit and they truly show you that they care about your success. This is the only doctor and location I recommend to the athletes I work with and train because I trust them, their work ethic & their decision making.
