Richard Grimsley MD specializes in joint replacement surgery and adult joint reconstruction of the hip and knee.
He has performed thousands of joint replacement procedures, and keeps abreast of the latest surgical techniques, such as minimal incision total hip replacement and MAKOplasty partial knee resurfacing. He also utilizes custom-made knee implants by ConforMIS to provide an individualized implant to best fit a patient’s unique anatomy.
Dr. Grimsley grew up in Jacksonville and attended high school at The Bolles School. He is a graduate of Duke University and the University of Miami Medical School. He has extensive expertise in the fields of orthopaedic treatment and surgery, having received his training at some of the country’s busiest joint hospitals, including New York’s Hospital for Joint Diseases, Bellevue Medical Center and New York University Hospital. He also undertook an additional year of specialized fellowship instruction with Dr. Anthony Hedley, a highly respected innovator in the field of joint replacement surgery. Dr. Grimsley is one of only a handful of Board-certified physicians in Northeast Florida to have fellowship training in joint replacement.
Richard Grimsley MD has been in practice in our area since 1995. He performs surgery at St. Vincent’s Hospital, which is the only accredited Center of Excellence for Joint Replacement in Northeast Florida.
Dr. Grimsley entered the medical field because of the gratification he gets from helping patients find solutions for their knee pain and/or hip pain.
As he explains, “Very few medical specialties are able to cure a specific disease as effectively as orthopaedics. In most cases, joint replacement surgery can resolve a patient’s problems completely, and that’s really satisfying.”
