Our Approach
How we treat hip pain without rushing you toward a replacement
Not every painful hip is a worn-out hip. In active adults the cause is often a labral tear, impingement, or a tendon injury, and those are problems Dr. Mundy treats through a few small incisions while keeping your natural joint. Every visit starts with a real exam and a real conversation about what you want to get back to, whether that is pickleball three mornings a week or simply walking without thinking about your hip. We start conservative when conservative makes sense, use arthroscopy and preservation techniques when they offer the best long-term result, and tell you plainly if a hip replacement is the right answer. We would rather point you to the right surgeon than do the wrong surgery.
5 Stars, all categories, bar none. Dr. Mundy and his team, especially Marlene, just wow. A surgeon who cuts last, who maintains as much of your native moving parts as possible before moving on to cut and replace, is amazing in itself. Their kindness, their willingness to go above and beyond, and their patience explaining something a third or fourth time for us non-medical folk is simply incredible. I cannot say enough wonderful things.

Dr. Mundy completed his sports medicine fellowship at Andrews Sports Medicine in Birmingham under Dr. James Andrews, caring for college, MLB, NFL, and NBA athletes along the way.

Conditions We Treat
Hip conditions we treat with arthroscopy and preservation
Hip Labral Tears
Tears in the ring of cartilage that seals your hip socket, a common source of catching, clicking, and deep groin pain in active adults.
Hip Impingement (FAI)
Extra bone on the ball or socket that pinches with motion and damages the labrum over time. Correcting the shape protects the joint.
Gluteus Medius & Hip Abductor Tears
The "rotator cuff of the hip." Endoscopic repair addresses the tendon through small incisions instead of an open procedure.
Hip Pain in Athletes & Active Adults
Runners, golfers, pickleball players, and weekend athletes with hip or groin pain that is not going away on its own.
Early Hip Arthritis
Evaluation, injections, and conservative care aimed at keeping you active and preserving the joint you have.
Hip Cartilage Injuries
Cartilage restoration and preservation techniques for damage inside the joint, part of our joint-preservation approach.
Hip Injuries & Trauma
Prompt evaluation and treatment for acute hip injuries, including fracture care.
Hip Pain Without a Clear Answer
If your hip still hurts after rest, therapy, or a first opinion, a sports medicine hip specialist can take a closer look.

What Patients Say
Real reviews from real patients
Dr. Mundy and his team Marlene and Emily are amazing. It is the only medical practice I have used that actually answers the phone promptly, has excellent follow through, and is warm and professional, and both times there was no wait at all between arriving and seeing Dr. Mundy. He is thorough, the exam did not feel rushed, and I really liked his approach and treatment plan. Highly recommended.
Amazing practice. Kyera, Marlene, all the office staff and Dr Mundy were a refreshing experience in the medical field. I felt heard and understood. The communication and explanation of any process or care was very thorough and second to none. Highly recommend. A sincere thank you to the whole team.
Dr. Mundy is a fantastic physician, and my entire experience with Synergy One has truly been one of the best healthcare experiences I’ve ever had. I’m incredibly grateful for the care, kindness, and professionalism they’ve shown me.
Meet Your Doctor
Dr. Andrew Mundy, MD
Board-Certified Orthopedic Surgeon, Sports Medicine Specialist
Dr. Mundy trained in orthopedic surgery at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, then completed his sports medicine fellowship at Andrews Sports Medicine and the American Sports Medicine Institute in Birmingham, Alabama, under Dr. James Andrews. During fellowship he served as orthopedic team physician for the University of West Alabama, assisted with coverage of University of Alabama athletics, including the 2021 national championship football team, and took part in the care of athletes from Major League Baseball, the NFL, and the NBA.
He has practiced in Sarasota since 2021, where hip preservation and hip arthroscopy have become a cornerstone of his practice. His approach is simple: understand what you want to get back to, treat the actual cause, start conservatively when it makes sense, and keep your own hip whenever that is the better long-term answer.

FAQ
Hip arthroscopy questions, answered
Will I need a hip replacement?
Many active adults with hip pain do not. Labral tears, impingement, and tendon injuries can often be treated with arthroscopy and preservation techniques that keep your natural joint. If a replacement truly is the right answer, Dr. Mundy will tell you and connect you with a surgeon he trusts for that procedure.
What does hip arthroscopy treat?
Labral tears, femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), certain cartilage injuries, and gluteus medius or hip abductor tears, among other problems inside and around the hip joint. Your exam and imaging determine whether it is the right option for you.
How quickly can I be seen?
Same-day and next-day appointments are often available for urgent evaluations, and online scheduling is open around the clock. Urgent slots are limited and not guaranteed, so call us and we will do our best. We do not offer walk-in or weekend visits.
Do you take my insurance? What if I am self-pay or out of network?
We accept most major commercial plans, Medicaid, Ambetter, and Oscar Health. If we are out of network with your plan, call us: for many carriers we match or closely match in-network rates. Self-pay visits are $200 all-inclusive with no add-on fees, among the fairest rates in the area.
Do I need a referral?
In most cases, no. You can book directly with us. A few insurance plans require one, and our team will help you sort that out before your visit.
