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.”
