A child’s musculoskeletal system undergoes many changes during the maturation process. Pediatric treatment often differs from what General Orthopedists would suggest for adults.
We specialize in sports medicine and have state of the art treatment for small children and adolescents with athletic injuries. If your child or teen has an injury that affects sports performance, exercise, or activity, our pediatric sports medicine team has the expertise, experience and qualifications to treat his or her youth specific problems.
