Pediatric Orthopaedics: Start Your Child's Experience

Children are not small adults, and their bones, joints and growth plates deserve care designed for them. Whether your child has a new injury or a condition you have been watching for some time, this is where their care with us begins.

Before your visit, we ask you to tell us your child's story in your own words: what happened or what you have noticed, how it is affecting them, what has been tried so far, and what worries you most. A thorough picture up front lets us spend the visit on your child, and on a plan that fits their age, their growth and your family.

You do not need a referral to begin. A parent or guardian completes this with the child, on a phone or computer, in the language your family is most comfortable with. It takes about 10 to 15 minutes.

Choose what fits your child

A fracture or recent injury

A broken bone, a sprain, a fall or sports injury, including a cast or splint placed elsewhere that needs follow-up.

If your child has a visible deformity, a bone through the skin, severe pain, numbness, a cold or pale limb, or an injury from a serious accident, go to the nearest emergency department or call 911 now.

Complete this intake afterwards. For a fracture already splinted or casted in an emergency room or urgent care, please begin the intake today and call our office so we can see your child within the week.
