TOC Panama City Clinic is thrilled to announce a significant expansion of its services and team, reinforcing our commitment to providing comprehensive, high-quality orthopedic care to our community.

We are delighted to welcome Dr. Aaron Shores, a distinguished pain management physician, to our practice. With 20 years of dedicated service in Northwest Florida, Dr. Shores brings a compassionate approach to patient care, greatly enhancing our ability to manage and treat chronic pain effectively.

Looking ahead, we are excited to announce that Dr. Mark Woernle, a highly skilled spine surgeon, will be joining our team in the fall. Dr. Woernle’s expertise in spine surgery will further expand our capabilities, allowing us to address a broader range of spinal conditions with advanced surgical techniques. This will greatly benefit the community and patients in need of back and spine care, providing them with access to specialized treatments and improved outcomes for spinal conditions.

Dr. Aaron Shores expressed his enthusiasm for joining the TOC team: “I am thrilled to become a part of TOC Panama City. This opportunity significantly enhances access to care for my patients, as they can now benefit from a comprehensive range of orthopedic services all within a single practice.”

In addition to expanding our team, TOC Panama City Clinic is thrilled to now offer physical therapy services, recognizing that prevention and rehabilitation are essential aspects of orthopedics. These services complement our existing offerings, including Sports Medicine, Foot and Ankle, Joint Replacement, Pediatric Orthopedics, and the region’s first walk-in orthopedic urgent care – TOC Now.

Looking ahead to 2025, our expansion plans continue with the opening of a second location in Panama City Beach and the addition of MRI services.

“These enhancements and additions underscore our dedication to improving the health and well-being of our community,” said Mike Boblitz, Chief Executive Officer of TOC. “The community support has been amazing since we first opened TOC Panama City less than two years ago. We remain committed to delivering exceptional care and expanding our services to meet the growing needs of the greater Bay County region.”
