Optional Personal Statement: I received my medical degree in Brazil in 1999. After completing a fellowship at The Campbell Clinic in Memphis, I began practicing general pediatric orthopedics in Brazil in 2003. I moved to the United Stated to advance my orthopedic surgery education and completed three additional fellowships in Utah, at The Mayo Clinic, and at Boston Children’s Hospital. I accepted a position here at The Children’s Hospital Colorado in 2011 as the Director of The Hip Preservation Program. My practice is focused exclusively on orthopedic hip disorders. We treat patients with hip dysplasia ranging from babies to young adults.
