Desert Orthopedic Specialists is an orthopedic practice based in Chandler, Arizona, serving patients with hip, knee, shoulder, and sports-related conditions. Led by Jonathan Fox, M.D., a board-certified surgeon with fellowship training in trauma, the practice has offered orthopedic care for more than 40 years. Its approach combines modern medical treatment with an emphasis on supporting the body’s capacity to heal, helping patients move from illness or injury toward wellness.

The practice provides evaluations and treatment options ranging from lifestyle changes, naturopathic and restorative services, and other non-surgical care to minimally invasive procedures and complex orthopedic surgery. Surgical services include arthroscopy, cartilage and ligament repair, fracture treatment, and total joint procedures and revisions, particularly involving the hip, knee, and shoulder. The team also treats sports injuries, sprains, strains, and limited mobility, tailoring recommendations to the cause of the condition, its severity, and the patient’s overall health. Desert Orthopedic Specialists announced that its private practice would close on September 30, 2025, and that it would not provide ongoing care or prescription renewals after that date.
