Biography


Dr. Petty enjoys water skiing, snow skiing, basketball, tennis, jogging, golfing, weightlifting, volleyball, and carpentry/woodworking.

Dr. Petty is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon who specializes in anterior total hip replacement, arthroscopic surgery, joint reconstructive surgery, orthopedic surgery, partial knee replacement and sports medicine. His most common procedures are total joint replacements and arthroscopic surgeries of the knee, hip and shoulder.

Dr. Petty became an orthopedic surgeon because he finds it rewarding to help people by repairing their bones and joints to allow them to return to better functioning.

Dr. Petty takes the time to listen to his patients and help them decide what is best for them and their particular situation. He treats his patients the same way he would treat his own family. He and his friendly, caring staff see and treat patients with a variety of orthopedic conditions.

Outside of orthopedics, Dr. Petty enjoys water skiing, snow skiing, snowboarding and paddleboarding.

He was highly recommended for shoulder surgery and my wife’s complete shoulder revision was very successful without any problems. Information provided by Dr Petty that covered pre-surgery, day of surgery and after surgery care was greatly appreciated

Dr. Petty, Dr. Sharkey and Dr. McFadden have all treated me in the past 10 years, and I consider myself lucky to be a patient of this practice. From hip replacements, to delicate hand surgery and complex surgery for a broken femur, the standard of care I have received from the surgeons in this practice is top of the line. Their facilities are excellent. I highly recommend them

Dr. Petty did total knee replacements on my knees 15 weeks apart. My recovery on each knee was excellent. I had excellent range of motion within days of the surgery. Dr. Petty uses robotic surgery which increases precision and reduces recovery time. I highly recommend Dr. Petty for knee replacement.

Dr. Petty replaced my left hip joint way back in 2015 and I have not had a minute's trouble with it since. This year's x-rays showed it is still perfectly placed and doing well. Thank you Dr. Petty!

I have been seeing doctor Petty for 22 years. I hard lost all the core strength in my shoulders. I was working out and only increasing the pain. After many months of trying to get in right myself I saw Dr. Petty for a diagnosis and treatment plan. Got a cortisone shot and did supervised rehab for a month. Second visit was just a strength test. Wasted so much time trying to fix it myself. In p...  See More

As a recently retired pharmacist of 46 years, the last 15 years of which were in Gainesville, Florida, I was able to follow hundreds of patients who had used Orthopaedic surgeons throughout Central Florida and based on their testimonials selected Dr Mark Petty to perform both of my knee replacements. Dr Mark Petty did a superb job in performing my left knee replacement in 2015 that allowed me to r...  See More

The only doctor in the world that I would go to for orthopedic surgery is Mark Petty. In fact he saved my life back in 2006. Finding a septic condition in my leg during knee replacement surgery saved my life. I trust him with my life. Enough said. Dr. Mark Petty is the best!

I feel that the service provided is very good and I trust the competence and skills of the doctors. My main observation is that at times I felt that I didn't have much of a personal relationship with Dr Petty. I do understand that the reason for this might be the volume of patients and an intense workload. Perhaps this is also the reason why it can be hard to reach someone to answer questions and ...  See More
