Children’s bones, joints, and muscles are constantly growing,
and conditions or injuries that involve these areas
of the body require the attention of a specialized
physician called a Pediatric Orthopedist. The orthopedist
treats conditions from birth through adolescence such
as congenital deformities, injuries, neurological disorders and scoliosis.

Hospital, your child will

care for children with the full range of musculoskeletal abnormalities,
including complex spinal deformities; hip, knee, foot and ankle abnormalities;

They are dedicated to providing prompt, efficient, compassionate, one-on-one
care for our patients and their families, with same day service provided
