Top Orthopedic Surgeons, Florida
Dr. William Leone is one of the best orthopedic surgeons in Florida having provided orthopedic care for thousands of patients during his 20 years of practice at Holy Cross Hospital in Fort Lauderdale, Broward County, Florida. Expert in the very latest orthopedic technologies, he prides himself on solving complex hip and knee problems, which make him one of the best knee replacement and hip replacement surgeons in the country.
Dr. Leone combines cutting edge technology, with a gentle and compassionate approach to deliver exceptional patient satisfaction. His expertise routinely leads to faster recovery time and consistently excellent results, making him one of the top orthopedic surgeons in Florida and the country.
Over the course of his career Dr. Leone has limited his practice to total joint replacements. He has gained expertise over 20 years and by performing 500 to 600 surgeries per year over the past ten years, while eighty percent of joint replacements in the U.S. are performed by orthopedists who only do 20-30 annually.
According to Premier, the largest benchmarking comparative data service in the country, Dr. Leone’s complication rate and readmission rate is three times less than peer orthopedic surgeons throughout the country. His practice has been driven by extremely satisfied patients referring their families and friends.
He is the inventor of the Pelvic Alignment Level (PAL), a device that allows surgeons to achieve a greater level of implant precision when performing total hip replacements, and is involved in the clinical trials and review of new orthopedic techniques and equipment. He has been an early adaptor and innovator in computer assisted surgery and robotics which has resulted in improved outcomes by achieving more precise component positioning during partial and total knee replacement.
Dr. Leone is a published author, most recently with an article in “Techniques in Orthopaedics” outlining the PAL’s benefits and use. He also authored an article in the “Journal of Arthroplasty”, the official journal of the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons. He continues to lecture internationally on advanced techniques.
Dr. Leone received the prestigious 2010, 2011 and 2012 “Top Doctors” for orthopedics award as reported in Gold Coast magazine – for the second consecutive year. This is an incredible honor, as Dr. Leone was chosen out of over 230,000 of the nation’s leading medical specialists, and only the best were selected to be part of Castle Connolly’s “Top Doctors”.
The “Top Doctors” were nominated by their peers in an extensive survey process of thousands of American doctors each year. Their medical educations, training, hospital appointments, disciplinary histories – and much more – are screened by the Castle Connolly physician-led research team. Those doctors who are among the very best in their specialties and in their communities are selected for inclusion. Doctors do not and cannot pay to be included in any Castle Connolly Guide or online directory. http://www.castleconnolly.com/about/nomprocess.cfm

I’m just 7 weeks post-op and I’m completely pain free, working fulltime, riding my stationary bike 5 miles per day, swimming and exercising daily for the first time in years. And I’ve already played 3 rounds of golf without any pain! Mark Kiess
