Cleveland Clinic has named Dr. Michael A. Mont the chairman of the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery.
The department is part of the Clinic’s Orthopaedic & Rheumatologic Institute and performs more than 16,000 surgical procedures a year, including 6,000 joint replacements.
Mont, who officially begins in his new role today, Friday, July 1, replaces Dr. Richard Parker, the team physician for the Cleveland Cavaliers who was named president of Cleveland Clinic’s Marymount Hospital last March.
“It’s truly exciting and an honor to join one of the leading orthopedic surgery teams in the world. I can’t wait to get started,” Mont said in a statement.
Mont, who will direct a team of 260 employees, including 67 staff physicians, comes to the Clinic from Baltimore, where he served as director of the Center for Joint Preservation and Replacement at the Rubin Institute for Advanced Orthopedics at Sinai Hospital of Baltimore.
