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!

July 3, 2025
Dr.Britto is AWESOME !!


June 28, 2025
I have been very pleased with Dr. Brito. He is always very optimistic and is quick to instill hope where it is appropriate or where I cannot see it. As an example, with my knee issues, there are my symptoms and there are the MRI results. The MRI results do not tell the whole story so within that limitation there is room for hope and that is where we are concentrating our efforts. I have been strength building within the limitations of debilitating pain and my knee strength has improved and my pain has decreased significantly. One of the assistants who assisted him once, a trainer, gave me the MRI results and painted a rather grim outlook but when Dr. Brito came in, he gave a different assessment. Not only did it lift my spirits, but he was absolutely correct in his assessment. So far anyways. But the now is all that matters when you take things one day at a time. I recommend Dr. Brito highly.


June 27, 2025
