Broken bones happen, and children are different. Most fractures in children do not require surgery, and many don’t even need a cast. As pediatric orthopedic specialists, we are happy to help with diagnosis and treatment options tailored to your child’s age and type of injury. Call us at 601-815-8066. Same day and walk in visits are available.

One of my favorites of all time! Fantastic surgeon and an even better human being. I know I speak for so many when I say Dr. Brooks is missed in Mississippi. My wife and I loved running into him at !

If you are considering a Vertebral Body Tethering surgery for scoliosis, you may want to contact us for a second opinion. A recent study from the Pediatric Spine Study Group, an international consortium of pediatric research centers, demonstrated a complete lack of meaningful ”guided growth” after surgery. Considering the risks of the surgical procedure and the high failure rates, I’m always happy to discuss the non-operative and less risky, time-tested operative procedures we offer at Children’s of Mississippi.

Just a friendly reminder that visiting me in clinic may be a shorter drive than you think. I have clinic dates planned through the end of 2023 in Tupelo, Canton, Jackson, Hattiesburg and Biloxi. Many thanks to my nurse, and the clinic staff who support us!
