Jorge Rocha, M.D., an orthopedic trauma surgeon at Broward Medical Center, discovered his true calling after a near-fatal motorcycle accident at age 19.
“I spent a significant portion of the following year at the hospital, undergoing multiple surgeries and months of physical therapy to regain my mobility,” Dr. Rocha said.
It was during this time that Dr. Rocha discovered his professional purpose. He continues to be driven by his own experience and dedicates his professional life to paying it forward, helping patients regain their mobility and providing comfort during their most challenging moments.
“My motivation stems from my commitment to delivering the highest standard of care to a vulnerable population,” Dr. Rocha said.
Dr. Rocha received his medical degree from Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. He completed his orthopedic surgical residency at the University of Pittsburgh and his fellowship in orthopedic trauma surgery at Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital.
