How to Find a Physician and Schedule an Appointment at Atlantis Orthopedics

Updated

Atlantis Orthopedics lists its physicians by name and subspecialty on its homepage, and the site offers two direct actions: Schedule an Appointment and Meet our Physicians. If you already know the body part or condition involved — spine, hip and knee, foot and ankle, shoulder and elbow, sports medicine, or pain management — you can match yourself to a specialist before booking. If you are unsure which subspecialty fits, the practice also advertises free advice from an orthopedic expert through a partner service, HURT!, described as available 24/7, 365 days a year.

Step 1: Decide which specialty you need

The physician roster groups doctors by focus area, which is the fastest way to narrow the list. Based on the homepage listing:

Specialty listed Physician
Spine Surgery Edward Chung, MD
Hip and Knee Salvador Forte, DO
Foot & Ankle Rommel Francisco, DO
Pain Management and Spine Gary P. Laux, DO
Shoulder, Elbow Diego J. Lima, MD
Sports Medicine Brian K. Reiter, MD
Shoulder Howard Routman, DO

Use this as a starting filter: a knee or hip problem points to Forte; a shoulder or elbow problem points to Lima or Routman; a foot or ankle problem points to Francisco; back or neck pain points to Chung or Laux; a sports injury points to Reiter.

Step 2: View a physician's bio

Each name in the roster is paired with a View Bio link. Opening a bio is how you confirm details the homepage does not provide — such as training, board certification, or the specific procedures a doctor performs — before you commit to an appointment. If two physicians share a specialty area (for example, Lima and Routman both cover the shoulder), the bios are the place to compare them.

Step 3: Schedule the appointment

The homepage presents Schedule an Appointment as a primary action, alongside Meet our Physicians. Selecting it is the intended path to booking. The site does not publish the full scheduling workflow, available time slots, or insurance and pricing details on the homepage, so treat the scheduling link as the starting point and confirm logistics — location, insurance, and cost — directly with the practice.

Step 4: Use the patient portal for related tasks

A Patient Portal link appears in the site's Information section. The portal is a separate access point from scheduling and is typically where existing patients handle records and communication. If you are a new patient, start with Schedule an Appointment; if you are already under the practice's care, the portal is the relevant entry point.

Other ways to get guidance

  • HURT! partnership: The site states Atlantis Orthopaedics has partnered with HURT! to provide free advice from an orthopedic expert, 24/7, 365 days a year, with a Get Started action. This is useful when you are not yet sure which specialist to see.
  • Service categories: The homepage also groups care into Advanced Joint Care (from non-surgical treatments to joint replacement surgery), General Orthopaedics (all musculoskeletal conditions), and Pain Management (non-operative care including neck and back). These categories can help you describe your problem when you call or book.

Locations served

The practice states it has provided orthopedic care in Palm Beach County since 1992, serving Jupiter, Loxahatchee, Palm Beach Gardens, West Palm Beach, Lake Worth, Boynton Beach, and Delray Beach. If you are choosing between physicians in the same specialty, proximity to one of these areas is a practical tiebreaker — confirm the specific office when you schedule, since the homepage does not map individual doctors to individual locations.
