Dr. Ira Guttentag is an orthopedic & sports medicine doctor who serves active individuals throughout the Tampa Bay area. Whether you are a professional athlete (like the hockey players he treats as the head physician and medical director of the Tampa Bay Lightning), a student who participates in school sports, or a “weekend warrior” who likes to stay active in their free time, Dr. Guttentag will formulate a personalized treatment plan to help get you back in the game.
