Orthopedic surgeon returns to AdventHealth
After five years, Dr. David Gay returns to Flagler County and cares for patients at AdventHealth Palm Coast Parkway
Dr. David Gay, a board-certified orthopedic surgeon specializing in shoulder, elbow and wrist disorders, has joined AdventHealth Medical Group and will operate at AdventHealth Palm Coast Parkway.
Gay previously cared for patients at AdventHealth Palm Coast for over a decade before serving as director of orthopedics at UF Health St. Johns in St. Augustine.
AdventHealth Medical Group is a team of nearly 450 employed physicians and advanced practitioners representing 30 different medical specialties. With 75 practice locations across Flagler, Lake, Sumter, and Volusia counties, AdventHealth Medical Group clinicians collectively cared for more than one million patient visits in 2024.
Gay’s return to AdventHealth Medical Group after five years marks a homecoming to the community and is part of the health care organization’s plan to bring nearly 15 orthopedic specialists to the area in 2025.
“I am excited to be back at AdventHealth and to serve this community again,” said Gay. “My focus is on helping people with shoulder, elbow and wrist issues get back to doing the things they love.”
“With the talented team here, we are ready to provide the best possible care to restore mobility and improve lives,” he added, noting AdventHealth’s gold seal certification from the Joint Commission for knee, hip and shoulder replacement surgery.
Gay earned his medical degree from the University of South Carolina and completed his orthopedic residency at the University of Florida in Jacksonville. He pursued advanced training with fellowships in hand and upper extremity surgery at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York and shoulder and elbow care at the Melbourne Shoulder and Elbow Centre in Australia.
