When employers need a dedicated and compassionate orthopedic specialist to care for their injured workers, Dr. Anand P. Panchal stands out as one of the most trusted names in the field. Known for his exceptional patient care, specialized expertise, and outstanding outcomes, Dr. Panchal has become a go-to physician for adjusters, case managers, and employers across the region.

With a deep commitment to restoring injured workers to their pre-injury health and helping them return to work safely, Dr. Panchal has earned widespread recognition—including being named one of the Best Doctors in Workers’ Compensation for 2024. This distinction highlights not only his clinical skills but also his relentless dedication to patient recovery and clear communication with all stakeholders involved in the care process.

Dr. Panchal is a board-certified, dual fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon specializing in sports medicine and surgery of the shoulder, elbow, and knee. His journey in medicine began with a rigorous orthopedic surgery residency in Ohio, followed by a sports medicine fellowship at MedStar Union Memorial Hospital in Baltimore. There, he worked alongside elite athletes from the Baltimore Ravens and Washington Nationals. He then completed a second fellowship in upper extremity surgery at Triangle Orthopaedic Associates in North Carolina, where he further honed his expertise in advanced procedures for the shoulder, elbow, and wrist.

Today, Dr. Panchal’s practice focuses on procedures such as shoulder arthroscopy and arthroplasty, complex trauma reconstruction, ACL reconstruction, meniscal repair, elbow arthroplasty, and ligament reconstruction—offering a full spectrum of care for both acute and chronic orthopedic injuries. His patients range from young athletes to working professionals, all receiving the same high level of personalized, outcome-driven care.

One of the defining aspects of Dr. Panchal’s approach is his commitment to treating the whole patient—physically and emotionally. He recognizes that recovery from a work-related injury often involves more than just repairing the body. "Sometimes the physical injury doesn’t align with what patients are feeling emotionally, and addressing both can be challenging," he explains. "But it’s also one of the most rewarding parts of what I do."

Balancing a demanding career with a fulfilling personal life, Dr. Panchal values time spent outdoors with his wife, biking, hiking, playing tennis, and discovering new restaurants. This balance, he says, keeps him grounded and energized for the important work he does every day.

At the heart of Dr. Panchal’s practice is a clear and simple goal: to help injured workers return to their pre-injury level of function and back to work as safely and quickly as possible. Whether through surgical or non-surgical treatment, his care philosophy prioritizes restoring quality of life. His dedicated Workers’ Compensation department is specifically designed to minimize delays and provide timely, efficient communication between employers, adjusters, case managers, and patients.

"Communication and outcomes are everything," Dr. Panchal emphasizes. "The better we communicate and the faster we deliver results, the quicker we can help injured workers get back to their lives."

For employers and adjusters seeking an experienced orthopedic partner who understands the nuances of the workers' comp system, Dr. Panchal offers both clinical excellence and a seamless care experience. His proven track record of success, supported by a highly responsive team and structured processes, makes him a trusted choice for orthopedic care in southeast Florida.
