Isabella saw Dr. Grudziak at Children's when she had her knee reconstruction last year. Our oldest had Dr. Deeney with the same practice when she broke her femur. Great docs, sucky hospital.
Mary K. replied:
when my children were little and went through some arm and leg fracture we went to Dr. Rogal in Monroeveille he was amazing. http://www.vitals.com/doctors/Dr_Michael_Rogal.html Also my son just had ACL surgery by dr. Watson in Shadyside also amazing!http://www.vitals.com/doctors/Dr_Anthony_D_Watson/profile
Recommendations for an orthopedic that specializes in sports medicine & great with teens. Preferably not UPMC - it's not compatible with our insurance.
