Pediatric Orthopedic Surgeon
As an internationally recognized, American Board-Certified orthopedic surgeon, I take pride in being at the forefront of complex pediatric and adult orthopedic procedures and treatments. Currently, I’m serving as the Director of Spinal Deformity and Hip Preservation Centers at the world-renowned Paley Institute in West Palm Beach, Florida, including our other two branches in Europe and Abu Dhabi. My primary aim is to offer unparalleled care to patients struggling with complex orthopedic conditions, including those that were once considered untreatable.
During my career, I have become an expert in treating complex spinal deformities, such as scoliosis and kyphosis. I also specialize in treating patients with a diverse range of complex conditions that include arthrogryposis, achondroplasia, Multiple Hereditary Exostoses (MHE), hip dysplasia, Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease, lower limb deformities, and limb length problems.
I have played a pivotal role in the field of orthopedics through the development of new and innovative surgical techniques and procedures such as the use of computer-assisted devices in correcting limb deformities, preventing infections after spinal surgery, and utilizing hip distraction in treating Legg Calves Perthes Disease. Several clinical research studies have also been linked to my name, focusing on improving care and management of patients dealing with complex orthopedic conditions.
Trust in the Paley European Institute to provide exceptional care and help you live life to your fullest potential.
Before joining the Paley Institute, I spent 15 years as the Chief of Pediatric Orthopedic Surgery at NYU Medical Center based in New York City. During my tenure, I was appointed as a full Professor of Orthopedic Surgery and Pediatrics and led numerous research initiatives in the orthopedic field.
Throughout my professional journey, I have published various articles in top medical journals and delivered lectures worldwide about different orthopedic conditions, from back pain to scoliosis to hip dysplasia and arthrogryposis. I travel to Europe and Israel to operate on patients, providing them with access to my expertise and delivering advanced surgical techniques and state-of-the-art care.
Through my advanced surgical techniques and patient-focused care, I have helped thousands of patients worldwide to overcome their complex orthopedic conditions, enabling them to achieve greater levels of functionality, pain relief, and improved quality of life.
