About Dalibel Bravo, MD
Dalibel Bravo, M.D., is a board-certified, fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon at Baptist Health Orthopedic Care. Dr. Bravo specializes in hand, wrist, shoulder and elbow surgery. She also offers the WALANT (wide awake local anesthesia no tourniquet) technique, which gives patients the option to have surgery without general anesthesia. This technique allows for less time in the hospital and better surgical outcomes. Dr. Bravo was born in Miami and raised in Puerto Rico. She is fluent in English, Spanish and French. Prior to joining Baptist Health Orthopedic Care in 2021, Dr. Bravo was on staff at the Rothman Orthopaedic Institute, where she completed a hand and upper extremity fellowship. She holds a master’s degree in biomedical sciences from the Mayo Clinic, where she focused on hand surgery. During her residency and fellowship at the NYU Langone Orthopedic Hospital, she completed the clinical-scientist track, where she focused on different medications that can enhance fracture healing. She won the Chief Resident Best Paper Research Award and the Harry Reicher Research Award for this research. She was also awarded the Sarah Pettrone, MD, Memorial Hand Surgery Scholarship Award, which is given to a resident who excels in their research in hand surgery. During her fellowship, Dr. Bravo trained with world-renowned hand, wrist, shoulder and elbow surgeons, allowing her to provide complete upper extremity care. Dr. Bravo’s research has been published in peer-reviewed publications, including the Journal of Hand Surgery, Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology, BONE, Gene, and the Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research. She also authored a chapter in the medical textbook “Basic Science for the Practicing Orthopaedic Surgeon: A Focus on Fracture Healing.” Dr. Bravo was born in Miami and grew up in Puerto Rico. She’s glad to come back home to care for patients in Miami. As a clinician-scientist, Dr. Bravo’s approach to patient care is to use evidence-based medicine and clinical and translational science to provide the best possible patient care. She is passionate about orthopedic surgery because treatment is often able to make an immediate difference in the lives of her patients, helping them get back to their lifestyle and quality of life. When she is not treating patients, Dr. Bravo enjoys yoga, scuba diving, snowboarding, biking, traveling and spending time with her family.
