In the dynamic world of orthopedic medicine, few practices have redefined excellence and innovation quite like OrthoMiami. Led by the distinguished Dr. Cesar E. Ceballos and Dr. Pieter Hommen, this Miami-based institution has become a beacon of cutting-edge care—not only for athletes and active individuals but also for workers' compensation patients and the insurers who serve them.

Dr. Cesar Ceballos, renowned as the only surgeon in Florida performing NanoScope procedures a minimally invasive alternative to traditional arthroscopy has carved out a reputation for pioneering techniques that prioritize quicker recovery times, less pain, and lower costs.
“When you reduce the physical trauma of surgery, patients bounce back faster—not just physically, but mentally and emotionally,” says Dr. Ceballos. “That’s crucial for people whose livelihood depends on getting back to work.” He’s also passionate about advancing orthopedic care in ways that are both cutting-edge and compassionate.
“At OrthoMiami, we don’t just treat injuries—we treat human beings,” Dr. Ceballos says. “The goal is always to restore not just movement, but independence. For many of our workers’ comp patients, that means reclaiming their ability to work, support their families, and live without fear of reinjury.” Dr. Pieter Hommen, a leader in sports medicine and advanced joint preservation, complements this approach with a deep commitment to individualized, high-performance care.
“Every injury is personal. Our job is to treat the injury, yes—but also to understand the individual, their goals, and what ‘recovery’ truly means for them,” Dr. Hommen explains. “For many of our workers’ comp patients, it means regaining the ability to provide for their families. That’s our mission.”
While Drs. Ceballos and Hommen lead OrthoMiami’s charge, the strength of the practice lies in its exceptional team of fellowship-trained orthopedic specialists who bring comprehensive care under one roof.
Dr. Yoav Zvi, a total joint reconstruction specialist, is known for his precision in hip and knee replacements using minimally invasive and robotic-assisted techniques to restore mobility and function.
Dr. Rafael Sanchez, specializing in sports medicine and shoulder replacement, delivers elite-level care for shoulder injuries and chronic conditions, making him a key player for both athletes and laborers alike.
Dr. Yohandy Fuentes and Dr. Alejandro Pino, both foot and ankle specialists, treat a wide spectrum of injuries with advanced surgical and non-surgical options designed to get patients moving safely and quickly.
Dr. Richard Pell, a seasoned general orthopedic surgeon, brings versatile experience treating trauma, overuse injuries, and degenerative conditions with the efficiency and care OrthoMiami is known for.

OrthoMiami is also growing. In late 2025, a pain management physician and hand surgeon will join the team, followed by a spine surgeon in late 2026—solidifying OrthoMiami as the most comprehensive orthopedic practice in South Florida. Our strength is in our specialization, but also in our unity,” says Dr. Ceballos. “We collaborate. Patients don’t have to bounce between clinics—we handle it all here, together.”
OrthoMiami has become a game-changer for workers’ compensation stakeholders by focusing on accelerated recovery timelines and long-term results. The practice’s streamlined diagnostics, minimally invasive surgical techniques, and collaborative rehabilitation programs help injured workers return to the job quickly and safely—often ahead of schedule. “We build every treatment plan with a return-to-work mindset,” explains Dr. Ceballos. “We’re not just asking, ‘How can we fix this?’ but rather, ‘How can we do it in a way that supports the patient’s job, lifestyle, and future?’ That’s what makes the difference.”
“Time is critical in workers’ comp,” he continues. “But so is quality. We never rush healing, but we do remove unnecessary delays through proactive care and communication.” This precision and efficiency resonate with both patients and employers. “We’ve seen a clear difference in outcomes when we send employees to OrthoMiami,” says Angela M., an HR manager for a Florida-based logistics company. “Our employees come back faster, morale is better, and the paperwork process is smoother than any other clinic we’ve worked with.”
“After my knee injury, I thought I was going to be out of work for months,” says Carlos R., a warehouse employee. “But Dr. Ceballos explained everything clearly, did a minimally invasive procedure, and had me walking within a few days. I was back to work way sooner than I imagined.”
“The team treated me like family,” says Monica T., a dental assistant who underwent shoulder surgery. “Dr. Sanchez knew how important it was for me to get back to using my arm again—not just for work, but for life. I’m stronger than ever.” “What stood out to us was the follow-through,” notes John P., a small business owner. “OrthoMiami communicated clearly, provided updates, and really partnered with us in the return-to-work process. That kind of professionalism is rare.”

Located in Miami, OrthoMiami stands out for its culturally sensitive, bilingual approach—especially crucial in South Florida’s diverse population. With fluent Spanish-speaking staff and doctors, patients feel understood and respected from the moment they walk in.
“Everything was in Spanish if I needed it,” says Juanita L., a construction worker. “I felt seen, heard, and respected. That made all the difference.” “You can’t deliver great medicine if your patients don’t understand you,” adds Dr. Ceballos. “We’re here to treat everyone, and that means meeting them where they are—linguistically, culturally, and emotionally.”
The Future of Orthopedic Care Is Here
At its core, OrthoMiami is more than a medical practice—it’s a mission-driven hub of innovation, compassion, and results-driven recovery. With a growing team, advanced technologies, and a holistic approach to care, the practice is raising the bar not just for orthopedic excellence, but for what’s possible in workers' compensation and patient-first recovery.
“Orthopedic surgery doesn’t have to be intimidating or inaccessible,” says Dr. Ceballos. “With the right tools, the right team, and the right mindset, we can change lives—not just repair joints.” And for patients and companies alike, that’s a promise worth standing on. l understood and respected from the moment they walk in.
