Children First

Nemours Children’s Health is widely regarded as one of the top children’s health systems in the world for pediatric orthopedics, with expertise in treating everything from complex conditions like skeletal dysplasia (dwarfism), scoliosis, and cerebral palsy, to common sports injuries and fractures. In fact, Nemours Children’s Hospital in Orlando has been once again ranked among the best in the nation for pediatric orthopedic care by U.S. News & World Report.

Those same experts who deliver care at the hospital bring their experience to the Nemours Children’s outpatient clinic in Winter Garden, giving local families easier access to the highest level of care for bone, spine, and joint problems.

Experts like Dr. Alec Stall, Vice Chair of Orthopedics in Central Florida, who understand that clinical excellence is just the beginning when it comes to treating kids and teens with orthopedic conditions. “Children come with their own sets of special challenges,” says Dr. Stall. “They are still growing — an important distinction that we always have to factor into every care scenario over the long term.”

Being built exclusively for kids gives Nemours Children’s a unique perspective and approach to care. Their team of nurses, technicians, doctors, and orthopedic surgeons know they’re not just helping a child heal; they’re setting them up for healthiest possible future. As Dr. Stall puts it, “We make the decisions that are right for each individual child. We focus on what’s best for these kids in the long term, as well as what’s best for the betterment of pediatric healthcare in general.”

For families in Winter Garden, this is a blessing. Having a world-class pediatric medical facility in our neighborhood gives parents both the convenience of easily accessible care, and the peace of mind that comes with knowing they’re seeing orthopedic experts who focus on kids and are able to offer the latest treatments.

The team at Nemours Children’s understands that going to a provider with the right kind of experience matters when it comes to your child’s health.

“You simply cannot learn everything you need to know from books or from treating adults,” says Dr. Stall. “We are comfortable and experienced treating kids with even the most incredibly rare orthopedic conditions. I often see more of those cases in one day than others may see over the course of their whole career.”
