I’m incredibly proud to share that @Nemours Orthopedics Delaware Valley has risen to #8 in the nation in the 2025-2026 @usnews & World Report Best Children’s Hospitals rankings in pediatric orthopedics.
This recognition is a testament to the exceptional dedication, expertise, quality, and compassion of our entire orthopedic team — from surgeons and APPs, to cast techs, researchers, and support staff. Every member plays a vital role in delivering world-class care and life-changing outcomes for the children and families we serve.
Thank you to our staff for your tireless commitment and to our patients and families for trusting us with your children.

Last week, I spent time with friend and @SRS_org LEAD mentor Firoz Miyanji at @BCChildrensHosp. It was invaluable to learn how they deliver world-class pediatric spinal deformity care. Thank you to @hippysurgeon and the entire group for an unforgettable visit! @NemoursOrtho
This week, we are celebrating our amazing Ortho Techs. Many of our team members, some with over 25 years of experience, are familiar faces not just in the cast room, but across every corner at @Nemours . THANK YOU for your unwavering dedication, tireless work, and deep commitment to our patients—not just this week, but every single day.

My wife Rhonda and I were excited to host the @Nemours Department of #orthopaedics (AI duPont Campus) for an informal get together celebrating the amazing #Research we have going on. With a great turnout of our attending faculty, trainees, and research coordinators, it was an incredibly fun night of socialization and scholarship!
Our research and clinical fellows handled questions from the attendings like pros. Our orthopedic attendings strutted their stuff as well, spurring some collaborative project ideas.
Nights like this are one of my favourite parts of being the Director of Research for this great group. Truly a privilege!
