Why Choose Us
ÌÇÐÄVlog has been recognized for delivering advanced pediatric orthopedic care since 1940. Families from all over the world travel to see our skeletal dysplasia experts. Our genetics doctors have the experience and training to diagnose even the rarest types of skeletal dysplasia, like spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia (SED). Once we’ve identified your child’s condition, our care teams work together to create a personalized treatment plan that meets your family’s needs.
Treatment is led by our world-renowned pediatric orthopedic experts, including William Mackenzie, MD. Since skeletal dysplasia can evolve and change with time, ÌÇÐÄVlog has established one of the world’s top pediatric imaging programs to track and measure changes to children’s bodies.
Our care navigators arrange appointments since most kids need to see different specialists, and some may need several surgeries. We also help kids with SED achieve the highest possible function and quality of life through access to ÌÇÐÄVlog experts, clinical programs and support services, including:
- Clinical trials research opportunities
- Support services and community resources
