Stephane Lavoie was born in one of North America's oldest cities, Quebec. He was raised in French Canada with his sister and three brothers. Dr. Lavoie completed undergraduate studies in pre-medicine while balancing the rigors of competing on a National Championship intercollegiate volleyball team.
Dr. Lavoie attended medical school at Laval University in Quebec and soon realized he wanted to be a surgeon of the musculoskeletal system. During his residency, Dr. Lavoie developed a love for Orthopaedic surgery because of the practical aspects it held. It was also during his residency that Dr. Lavoie met his wife Josee. They currently have one child. After completing his residency Dr. Lavoie was selected to complete a fellowship specializing in spine surgery at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas.
After being heavily recruited the Lavoie family accepted the offer to relocate to the DeLand area and join the practice of Florida Orthopaedic Associates, P.A. The Sunshine State was a logical choice to the Lavoie family since many Quebekers think of Florida as a second home. The Lavoie's were also drawn to the quality of life of a smaller town and the close relationships that are so typical of our community.
Dr. Lavoie brings a new level of medical service to our patients, being the first fellowship-trained spine surgeon in the Sanford and West Volusia area. Dr. Lavoie is proud to be the newest member of Florida Orthopaedic Associates and looks forward to providing health care to the residents of Volusia County.

Great doctor he cured my headaches!! recommend him highly!
Long drive for a short visit
I have been to multiple spine specialists over the years and have never felt so dismissed by a physician. I brought a stack of my previous spine records that he couldn’t be bothered to review them and was only willing to review my most recent MRI report. He literally only spent 5 minutes with me and was very flippant when asked about possible surgical options or options for pain relief. He offered what his opinion was and really didn’t allow me any time to ask questions before he stood up to leave the room. He also barely performed any examination. I drove a long distance to see this MD due to positive reviews and was highly disappointed in his aloof behavior. Again, I have seen many specialists over the years for consults and have never been treated this way. I felt like he knew he couldn’t make any money off me surgically so he couldn’t have cared less to spend some time with me.
Dr. Lavoie is a kind doctor who cares for his patients. He is very knowledgeable and educates patients in a way they can understand
Excellent visit!
I really enjoyed talking with him. He gave me some good information.
Very concise and professional!
Honest, caring, explained well.
This was my first surgery. Dr had been referred by my SIL who recently had the same surgery. I can’t praise him enough! It’s less than 2 weeks and I feel great.
Enjoyed meeting Dr Lavoie, he spent time explaining my condition, was professional and very prompt. Thank you
