Dr. Peter Ameglio brings over 18 years of experience to his boutique practice in Fort Myers, FL, where he provides thoughtful, precision-based care for the full musculoskeletal system. Born in Washington, D.C. and raised in Panama, Dr. Ameglio returned to the United States to complete his medical education at respected institutions before becoming board certified by the American Board of Orthopedic Surgery. He approaches each case with a whole-person perspective, emphasizing nonsurgical options whenever possible and offering advanced surgical solutions when necessary.
With a background in endurance sports, including triathlons, marathons, and ultra-marathons, Dr. Ameglio understands the importance of movement in everyday life. His goal is to help patients return to the activities they love through personalized care, advanced treatment options, and a genuine commitment to faster, lasting recovery.
Dr. Ameglio completed his education and extensive skills at the following prestigious colleges:
Dr. Ameglio is Southwest Florida's most experienced SuperPATH® hip replacement surgeon and the first to introduce this minimally invasive technique to the region. He is also the area's leading provider of iFuse® SI joint fusion and serves as a consultant to SI-Bone®. His specialized training allows him to accurately distinguish between hip and SI joint pain — an essential step in avoiding unnecessary procedures and ensuring the right solution for each patient.
Dr. Ameglio is highly skilled in the use of advanced surgical technologies and instrumentation that enhance precision and improve outcomes. He routinely performs procedures using the Mako Robotic-Arm, which allows for highly accurate joint replacement planning and execution; Zimmer Biomet systems, known for their customizable implants and surgical tools for knee and hip replacements; Arthrex equipment, which offers minimally invasive solutions for soft tissue and sports-related injuries; and Stryker Trauma technology, which supports complex fracture repair with durable fixation devices. His proficiency with these trusted platforms ensures that each surgery is tailored to the patient's anatomy and recovery goals. Dr. Ameglio's priority is to maximize function and reduce downtime.
First meeting with Dr. Ameglio was very impressive. Having been in the medical field for 10 years here in Naples I can count on one hand the physicians who compare or even come close to Dr. Ameglio’s compassion and commitment to his practice. Six days post-op SuperPath total hip replacement I was able to graduate from a walker to a cane when necessary. I can’t say enough about this man’s dedication and drive to make surgeries less complicated and quicker recovery for the patient even though it takes more on his end with the actual surgery itself. He is my ace in the hole and will definitely have him do my much needed knee surgery in the future. Thank God I found him!!!
I just had my right hip replaced 3 years after my left hip due to osteoarthritis. Dr. Ameglio performed both surgeries. I had easy recoveries with both surgeries with no post surgical complications. He is easy to talk with and is an active listener. When I expressed certain concerns before the surgery he was able to reassure me and we made a plan together to make sure I was comfortable. I highly recommend the super path procedure and the highly skilled Dr. Ameglio. I chose him after getting 2 other opinions and am happy that I did. At 4 weeks post surgery I was walking on my own and started playing pickleball and golf . Tennis at 6 weeks. And the best part is that I have no pain!!
Dr Ameglio has replaced both hips on my 92 yo mother due to fractures from falls within 5 months of one another. It amazes me how smooth the Superpath procedure is and with little pain. Thank goodness for a great doctor with a state of the art procedure that allows people to get back to life quickly! Who would have thought it was even possible for an elderly woman to continue to have a new chance at mobility. Dr Ameglio is top notched in every way. I highly recommend him!
I did not come to FL for 3 months and plan to get a total hip replacement, but I was in pain and things fell in place and I was able to get into Dr. Ameglio for an appt. very quickly. I couldn't be happier with my timely surgery and before my 4 week post op I am all healed and able to do what I want. With the excellent physical therapy I got from Shawn Troyer pre op, I was able to go into surgery well prepared. They said my fast recovery was from doing phy therapy ahead of time and doing all the phy therapy after. I thank you for making this a great experience for me and having me ready to go when we leave in a couple days for WI..God bless you! Diane Tappa
I had my hip replaced on Dec 18, 2024 and had amazing results at 77 years old. I was walking without a walker after 4 days and no cane at 3 weeks, then I cut the grass! The therapist said it was the smallest incision he had ever seen for a hip replacement. I did go to physical therapy and was about 90% after 2 months and of course pain free. I had been in a lot of pain and I wish I would have known about Dr. Ameglio sooner, his SuperPath method really worked out well for me . After visits with several orthopedic surgeons I thought he was the most competent and experienced. After my first visit and speaking with a 90+ year old WW2 paratrooper sitting in the waiting room who said he had his hip replaced and it was "no big deal", that sealed the deal. His entire office is professional and friendly and my thanks go out to them as well.
