Orthopedic Pediatric Surgery

"Pediatric orthopedics " simply refers to the medical care of children’s bones. When it comes to youth, extra care is required to lower the risk of damage to bones that are still developing. Treatment by a board-certified, highly experienced pediatric orthopedic doctor can help prevent long-term complications that may otherwise affect a child's gait and growth.

Pediatric scoliosis surgery 

When surgery is the best form of treatment for children and adolescents with advanced scoliosis, we are here for you. Our pediatric spine surgeons provide leading-edge surgical options to correct spinal deformity. We offer non-fusion surgery for early on-set scoliosis as well as spinal fusion coupled with the most advanced postoperative practice protocols to reduce recovery time.

Dedicated to offering comprehensive care, we work closely with neurosurgeons, thoracic surgeons and other specialists when necessary to deliver optimal treatment plans and support.
