It is important to choose Pediatric Orthopedic Doctors who Specialize in Children. 

“Orthopedic surgeons who only focus on adults may not factor in the need to pay close attention to growth plates. Growth plates are growing tissue on the ends of the long bones of children and adolescents. When treating a child’s injury, your pediatric orthopedic doctors will also evaluate your child’s growth plate to ensure the bone heals correctly.” says Dr. Shyam Kishan. “Growth plates are the weakest areas of a child’s growing skeleton. Because they are weak, it makes them extremely vulnerable to injuries and must be considered when diagnosing and recommending the right treatment.”

Pediatric Orthopedic Doctors Treating Scoliosis – Children to Adults. 

Knowing that in some cases scoliosis is a genetic disease, Drs. Shyam Kishan, Richard Hostin, and Kathryn Wiesman are leaders in scoliosis treatment for all ages from children through adults. If your child’s scoliosis progresses as they age, you will have consistent care. Therefore, is no “aging-out” of our care, we continue to treat our patients as long as you need us. Our doctors will be available to your child as he or she matures. Your doctors will have a medical evidence-based treatment plan for your child through adulthood with the same leading orthopedic doctors team.

A second opinion is recommended if your child has been diagnosed with scoliosis. With a second opinion, by one of our experts, you can be assured as to the type and progression of his or her’s unique condition. Based on these two factors our doctors can give you, the parent, research-based individualized treatment options, starting with conservative treatments. In most cases, it is important to establish a baseline diagnosis to refer to as your child’s bones grow and develop.
