Our team
Our team of pediatric specialists includes board certified orthopedic surgeons, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, pediatric nurses who specialize in orthopedics, orthopedic technicians who apply splints and casts, licensed occupational and physical therapists, and a group of experienced secretaries and assistants who enjoy working with pediatric orthopedic patients and their families.
Our team also includes a pediatric orthopedic nurse clinician who coordinates inpatient stays, discharge planning and follow-up clinic visits. The clinic nurses provide support and educational sessions for patients and their families undergoing surgery or involved therapies.
Our physicians are on the faculty of the Medical College of Wisconsin. They teach fellows, pediatric residents, and medical students. In addition, our physicians also hold several educational symposiums for physicians each year and actively conduct research to further advance treatments available to patients.

- Medical students who are training to be doctors.
- Residents who are doctors specializing in pediatrics.
