Personalized Orthopedics of the Palm Beaches, a trusted leader in orthopedic care in Southeast Florida since 2007 has added two new surgeons to its’ experienced team (Dr. Gregory Martin, Dr. Joseph Chalal, Dr. Jeffrey Press, Dr. Michael Baskin) of Board-certified and fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons, interventional spine specialists, and physical therapists. Personalized Orthopedics provides patients with high-quality surgical and non-surgical care for injuries and conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system. 

Dr. Eric K. Lee is a board-eligible orthopedic surgeon who specializes in hip and knee arthritis treatment and joint reconstruction. He pursued a specialized fellowship in advanced hip and knee replacement at the prestigious Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women’s Hospital, where some of today’s major joint replacement advances were developed. He has training in less invasive techniques, full and partial replacements, robotics and custom implants. He trained in a five-year orthopedic surgery program at the University of Michigan during residency. Prior to that, he graduated from the University of Pennsylvania medical school, where he also completed a PhD in cancer biology and cellular signaling. Dr. Lee utilizes his dual physician-scientist training to approach clinical problem scientifically, while also listening and focusing on the patient’s needs in order to truly practice the art of medicine.

Dr. Lee believes that optimal treatment of orthopedic conditions like hip and knee arthritis is predicated upon effective communication between the physician and patient. As such, he understands for most patients, surgical hip or knee replacement is a last resort, and will only proceed when both the patient and surgeon believe it is in the patient’s best interest. Consistent with the philosophy of the Personalized Orthopedics Physicians, he adopts a conservative approach and delivers care in a manner that is safe, effective, and efficient. Ultimately, the therapeutic alignment that patients achieve with Dr. Lee involves patients understanding their diagnosis and treatment options, enabling them to act in their own best interests.

Dr. Jennifer Tucker is a Fellowship-trained and Board-Certified Orthopedic Hand and Upper Extremity surgeon. She completed most of her training at the University of Louisville; however, she completed her fellowship at the University of California –  Irvine as well as an additional traveling fellowship in Zurich, Switzerland.Dr. Tucker believes that hand surgery is the ultimate combination of art and medicine. She trained with the forefathers of hand surgery and quickly learned to respect the complexity and beauty of the hand. Dr. Tucker also spent time learning microvascular techniques, complex shoulder reconstruction, and performing biomechanical research. Her exceptional training has provided her with innovative technical skill to provide high-quality care for patients.

Her practice focuses on conditions that affect the hands and upper extremities, and believes optimum outcomes are the result of an integrated health care team. Working with patients that have physical limitations has provided her a foundation of gratitude, and she firmly believes that staying strong physically is integral in staying strong mentally. Physical or occupational therapy is oftentimes critical in restoring or maintaining strength in recovery.
