Welcome

Starting Nov 1, Southern Orthopeadics & Sports Medicine will become Optim Orthopedics. This change will allow us to continue to offer the excellent quality orthopedic care to the Golden Isles that you know, while expanding our services and improving the patient experience.

Dr. Kevin Brooks (Hip, Knee, Total Joint) and Dr. Michael Dunn (Hand, Wrist, Upper Extremity) will continue under Optim, and we will add six excellent surgeons to our repertoire: Dr. Jay Cook (General Orthopedics), Dr. Jeffrey Goldberg (Foot & Ankle), Dr. Gregory Kolovich (Hand & Wrist), Dr. Thomas Lawhorne (Orthopedic Spine), Dr. David Sedory (Hip, Knee, Shoulder, Total Joint), and Dr. Wesley Stroud (Sports Medicine).

We would also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our retiring surgeon, Dr. Ralph Morales. He opened SOSM 24 years ago, and his hard work and dedication helped it grow into an orthopedic leader in Southeast Georgia. We wish him the best in this new chapter.
