I joined Dickson-Diveley Orthopaedics in 2010. I am fellowship trained in the diagnosis, rehabilitation and utilization of interventional spine procedures for the treatment of painful spine disorders. I enjoy traveling to new places with my wife and daughter, and I am fluent in both English and Spanish. Dr. Fermin J. Santos is associated with Kansas City Orthopaedic Institute.Kansas City Orthopaedic Institute is an acute care hospital licensed in the state of Kansas. Our hospital is physician-owned, which means many of the physicians on staff have ownership or financial interest in the hospital. This model allows our physicians to have greater control in all aspects of the orthopedic care they provide, which often leads to greater patient satisfaction. As a physician-owned hospital, we are a proud member of Physician Hospitals of America.
