Biography: Alexander Gaukhman, M.D., M.S., is an orthopedic surgeon at the Orthopedic Institute at Boca Raton Regional Hospital, a part of Baptist Health South Florida. Dr. Gaukhman specializes in total joint replacement surgery. Dr. Gaukhman joined the Orthopedic Institute from the NYU Langone Medical Center/Hospital for Joint Diseases and the Insall Scott Kelly (ISK) Institute, where he completed an adult reconstruction fellowship. Dr. Gaukhman, a first-generation American, immigrated to the United States with his family at the age of 6 and grew up in North Florida. He earned his medical degree from Florida State University College of Medicine, where he was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society.
