5 Best Orthopedics in Houston (2026)

Fondren Orthopedic Group runs fourteen locations across Texas and covers hand and wrist, elbow, shoulder, spine, joint replacement, foot and ankle, and pediatric orthopedics, along with sports medicine and pain management. Its Fondren Main location sits inside the Texas Orthopedic Hospital and is staffed by board-certified physicians using minimally invasive techniques where possible. It is by far the most-reviewed orthopedic practice in Houston on this page.

Southwest Orthopedic Group has operated in Houston since 2002, founded by a group of independent-minded orthopedic surgeons who wanted to combine subspecialty expertise under one practice. Patients describe surgeons taking extra time to walk through what a procedure involves and what recovery looks like, even when it means running behind schedule. The group covers general orthopedic surgery with surgeons handling knees, hands and other joint work.

Texas Orthopedic Hospital is a dedicated orthopedic surgical facility in the Texas Medical Center, offering joint replacement, hand and complex fracture surgery, and post-operative recovery care with private rooms. Patients describe attentive nursing staff, thorough physical therapy, and surgeons who bring in additional specialists rather than rushing to the most invasive option. It functions as the hospital setting for several of Houston's orthopedic surgeons, including physicians from Fondren Orthopedic Group.

Reconstructive Orthopedic Center, near the Museum District, is a board-certified orthopedic clinic built around low-cost care, payment plans, and a stated preference for exploring non-surgical treatment before recommending an operation. It runs an in-house surgical facility for both minimally invasive and complex procedures, plus an integrated therapy center offering physical therapy, occupational therapy and hydrotherapy. Reviewers frequently mention getting a second opinion here that avoided an unnecessary surgery.

Dr. Mark H. Henry practices hand and wrist surgery from a Museum District office, treating everything from acute injuries to complex reconstructive cases. Reviewers describe him agreeing to operate the same day an injury happened, and one patient, a professional violist, credits him with reconstructive surgery that let her return to playing after losing part of a finger. His practice draws patients specifically for hand and wrist cases that other providers have turned away.
