NFBJS Opens New Gulf Breeze Clinic
Posted on 11-13-2026 in New Location by Dr. Matthew Mai, Dr. Ryan Riggs
As we shared earlier this year, with our expanding clinical office footprint into Milton and Navarre, FL, North Florida Bone & Joint Specialists is focused on delivering the most accessible, expert orthopaedic and sports medicine care along the Gulf Coast. As part of that continued commitment, we’re pleased to announce the opening of our new office located at 85 Baybridge Drive in Gulf Breeze.
Conveniently located in Gulf Breeze proper, near the foot of the Three Mile Bridge in the Baybridge Office Park, our new office will be home to board-certified Orthopaedic Hip Surgeon Dr. Matthew Mai. Specializing in advanced hip arthroscopy for ischiofemoral impingement (IFI), femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), labral tears, hip preservation and anterior total hip arthroplasty, Dr. Mai is internationally recognized in the hip arthroscopy community and teaches courses across. He and his team treat musculoskeletal conditions of the hip resulting from development, injury, overuse and arthritis.
Board-certified and fellowship-trained Sports Medicine Physician Dr. Ryan Riggs will also see patients at the new Baybridge Gulf Breeze office in addition to continuing his clinic appointments at our 4304 North Davis Hwy. location in Pensacola. Dr. Riggs specializes in the treatment of various musculoskeletal and orthopaedic conditions and injuries of the upper extremities, hip, knee, foot and ankle, as well as the spine. The use of regenerative medicine, including platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell therapies to manage orthopaedic injuries, is among his clinical interests.
With our goal of making every visit as efficient as possible, the new office will also offer on-site services, including advanced imaging and diagnostics and in the coming week, physical therapy appointments.

Joint Preservation vs. Joint Replacement: What's the Difference?
When hip, knee or shoulder pain begins interfering with the activities you enjoy, it's natural to wonder whether joint replacement may eventually be necessary. For some patients, the answer is yes. For many others, however, several treatment options may be available before surgery becomes appropriate. Orthopaedic care isn't simply a choice between living with joint pain and having a joint replacement. Instead, treatment often exists on a spectrum, with the goal of selecting the right option based on the cause and severity of your symptoms, the condition of the joint, and how pain or limited mobility affects your life.
