William P. Toole, M.D.Board-Certified Orthopedic SurgeonSpecializing in Sports Medicine, Shoulder & Knee

William P. Toole, MD is a board-certified, fellowship trained orthopedic surgeon in FL. A native of South Carolina, Dr. Toole graduated from the honors college at Clemson University, and then earned his medical degree (MD) with honors from the University of South Carolina School of Medicine. He completed his residency in orthopedic surgery at the University of Florida / Mayo Clinic Florida.

Following his residency, Dr. Toole completed a prestigious fellowship in shoulder and knee surgery at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. During his fellowship, Dr. Toole gained valuable experience treating professional athletes as assistant team physician for the Houston Texans (NFL), Houston Astros (MLB), Houston Rockets (NBA), and Houston Dynamo (MLS).

Dr. Toole's expertise uses the latest minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques for the surgical management of complex shoulder and knee issues. This includes: knee ligament procedures (ACL/PCL/MCL/LCL), meniscal repair, rotator cuff repairs, labral repairs, and cartilage techniques to preserve as much of the patient's joint as possible. Arthroscopic surgery allows patients to return to activity much sooner than outdated open procedures which employ much larger surgical incisions.

In fellowship, he was extensively trained on the use of nonoperative biologic treatment such as platelet rich plasma (PRP) to augment his surgical expertise. PRP injections are done in the clinic under ultrasound guidance to expedite the recovery and healing process.

In addition, Dr. Toole trained under some of the leading shoulder surgeons during his fellowship performing both arthroscopic shoulder surgery and shoulder replacements. He specializes in the most cutting-edge and minimally invasive techniques and technology for shoulder replacements. Dr. Toole is currently using technology which designs shoulder replacements for each individual patient using 3D printing. As such, each replacement best fits the individual's specific anatomy to ensure optimal results.

Dr. Toole is currently performing robotic knee replacements with the Zimmer ROSA robot to ensure each and every knee replacement has the best possible outcome. Furthermore, Dr. Toole is using a highly skilled team to perform outpatient knee replacements, where patient's go home from surgery the same day to enjoy recovery in the comfort of their own home.

Dr. Toole is a member of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS), American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSM), and Arthroscopy Association of North America (AANA).

Outside of work, Dr. Toole enjoys living in South Florida with his wife, young son, young daughter, and rhodesian ridgeback. He looks forward to the opportunity to help get you back to a healthy and active lifestyle so that you can enjoy the beautiful South Florida weather!
