Dr. Jonathan Koscso
MD | Orthopedic Sports Medicine Surgeon | Kennedy-White Orthopedic Center | Associate Team Physician | Tampa Bay Rays
Dr. Jonathan Koscso is an orthopedic sports medicine surgeon at Kennedy-White Orthopaedic Center in Sarasota, FL, and the official Team Physician at Athlete Pro Sports Medicine.
Before medicine, Dr. Koscso was an athlete first. He was a 3-year captain of the USF Bulls baseball team, graduating magna cum laude in Biomedical Sciences, before being drafted by the Tampa Bay Rays in the 2011 MLB Draft. He played professionally in the Rays organization before returning to pursue his medical career.
He earned his medical degree at the USF Morsani College of Medicine, where he was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society. He completed his orthopedic surgery residency at Washington University in St. Louis/Barnes-Jewish Hospital — a top-10 national program — followed by a specialized Sports Medicine and Shoulder Surgery fellowship at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City, ranked the #1 orthopedic hospital in the country by U.S. News & World Report.
During his fellowship, Dr. Koscso served as a team physician for the New York Mets and the Brooklyn Cyclones, and cared for athletes from the Giants, Rangers, Knicks, Nets, and Liberty. Today, he serves as an Associate Team Physician for the Tampa Bay Rays and Head Orthopedic Surgeon for New College of Florida Athletics.
Dr. Koscso specializes in conditions of the shoulder, elbow, knee, and ankle — including rotator cuff tears, labrum repairs, ACL reconstruction, meniscus injuries, Achilles repairs, and biologic treatments like PRP and hyaluronic acid injections.
Outside the OR, Dr. Koscso is a competitive triathlete — which is exactly why this partnership works. He understands what it means to train with purpose, race with a goal on the calendar, and need a care team that gets it. He doesn’t just treat athletes — he is one.
