Philip Clifford, MD, AAHKS, AAOS

Born in New Jersey, from Vermont natives, Dr. Clifford went to middle and high school in the Tampa Bay area. He attended Davidson College in North Carolina, and then Medical School at the University of Florida. He completed his orthopedic residency at Duke University in Durham, NC and then added an additional year of fellowship in Adult Reconstructive Surgery (hip and knee replacement surgery). He then practiced in Durham for the last 17 years.

His special interest in outpatient joint replacement led him to Tampa where he could open a center with the plan to deliver the best of care to patients needing hip and knee replacement. As founder and director, Dr. Philip Clifford has spent over five years developing anesthetic and surgical protocols for outpatient joint replacement that has led to nearly all of his patients being candidates for outpatient surgery provided their general health is stable and medically well managed.

Dr. Clifford has a financial interest in West Florida Surgical Suites.
