About Manuel Britto
My name is Manuel Britto, MD, and I am a primary care sports medicine physician in the University of Florida Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Sports Medicine.
I received a Bachelor of Science in microbiology and cell science from UF in Gainesville. Following that, I received my medical degree from the University of South Florida Morsani College of Medicine in Tampa. I completed my family medicine residency at Oak Hill Hospital in Brooksville, Florida, and a fellowship in primary care sports medicine at the Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell in Plainview, New York.
My clinical interests include treating tendonitis and sprains. I also utilize various treatment and diagnostic methods, including ultrasound, rehabilitation exercises and orthobiologic therapies. Orthobiologic therapies are often used as part of regenerative medicine approaches to treat musculoskeletal injuries and conditions such as bone fractures, cartilage injuries, tendon and ligament injuries and osteoarthritis.
As a sports medicine physician, my goal is to help others by improving their function and overall health. I strive to help people stay active in their lives regardless of their background. From athletes to the general population, I will try my best to get the outcome you desire.
All of my patients should know that I believe in a holistic approach to helping patients reach their goals, considering every aspect of medicine, nutrition and rehabilitation.
Other than practicing medicine, basketball is a great passion of mine. It helps me stay active and feel young. Likewise, I want to help my patients find happiness through movement, whether it be shooting hoops or chasing their grandkids!

I was seen by 2 Dr's, separately. The first Dr got most of the information and had the x-rays printed for me. They both showed excellent care and provided treatment options, including PT. Very satisfied with the visit.

Dr Britto did an excellent job explaining my sources of my shoulder pain, did an outstanding job doing the injection and we came up with a plan to rehab my shoulder that I am confident will ease me shoulder pain that I've had for over a year and a half.

Superb treatment with full explanation of options. I felt my doctor educated me about benefits and side effect of the different treatments so I could make an informed decision, and we did make a good decision together.

Dr. Britto was quick, efficient and knows his craft well. I've had pain for months and after my visit with him, just the few exercises necessary for him to discover what we're working with is the best my shoulder has felt in months. He explained the plan for treatment and what he didn't think was necessary short term. Highly recommend him!
