Sports medicine for children and teens
Playing sports can be a big part of your child's life. Sports can lead to concussions, sprains, strains, broken bones and other sports injuries. Whether your child has a minor sports injury or needs more advanced care — we’re here for your family. Our orthopedic doctors are trained in bone and joint care for kids and understand how injuries in growing children and adolescents are different from injuries in adults. We deliver non-surgical options for treatment and, when needed, surgical care for fractures and more. Our care team helps you and your child understand how to help prevent future injuries.
Get a second opinion on your child's bone or joint condition
Getting a second opinion can provide you with more information about your child’s bone and joint condition. It may also increase your confidence in your child’s care plan. Our pediatric doctors are part of an integrated, national network of pediatric specialists, sharing best practices and offering advanced care options. Ask if a virtual visit is an option for your child’s second opinion consultation.
If your child is experiencing a life-threatening emergency, go directly to the ER or call 911.
