Scoliosis Service

The Scoliosis Service at Hospital for Special Surgery is recognized as a world leader in the management of complex spinal deformities in both children and adults. They pride themselves on offering patients the most advanced care and treatment in a multi-disciplinary environment. Our vision is to be recognized as the leader in spine deformity education, training, and research internationally, alongside our renown in the treatment of these conditions.

The surgeons on the Scoliosis Service are members of the newly created Spine Care Institute at HSS, a comprehensive program to bring all the dimensions and facets of scoliosis and spine care - operative and non operative - to our patient community.

The attending surgeons on the service are all active members of the Scoliosis Research Society and are nationally and internationally recognized for their work in clinical and basic science research activities. The surgical staff is complemented by a multidisciplinary team of pediatricians, geneticists, pulmonologists, and neurologists who contribute to the overall academic and clinical activities of the surgeons, fellows, and residents.
