THIBODAUX — Dr. Neil Maki, orthopedic surgeon with Thibodaux Regional Orthopaedic Clinic, was recently awarded the 2019 Louisiana State University Orthopaedic Outstanding Alumnus Award.

The LSU Department of Orthopaedic Surgery-New Orleans presents the award annually to an outstanding orthopaedic alumni for contributions and service.

Past chairman Andy King said Maki has been a huge supporter of academics, and his support has benefitted each of the New Orleans orthopaedic training programs.

“He has a passion for the entire scope of orthopaedics in general, and the on-going progress and excellence of orthopaedic surgery in Louisiana,” King said.

Maki is board certified in Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine.

He is also fellowship trained in Hand and Upper Extremity. He has practiced continuously in Thibodaux since 1980 with major contributions to the local, state and national medical communities.
