Orthopedics

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.

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