BRADENTON — Coastal Orthopedics recently broke ground on a new 34,000-square-foot facility just north of Blake Medical Center in west Bradenton. 

The facility will be built on a 4-acre lot and will take the place of the current west Bradenton space when it opens in spring 2022, according to a statement. Coastal Orthopedics is a full-service provider of comprehensive orthopedic surgery, sports medicine, spine care, pain management and physical therapy services. Coastal has had a large presence in east Manatee County for 16 years, the release adds.
