Dr. Feldman is director of the Spinal Deformity and Hip Pain Centers at the Paley Institute

Dr. Feldman spent 15 years as the Chief of Pediatric Orthopedic Surgery at NYU Medical Center in New York City. In 2015, he relocated his practice to the Paley Institute to expand and perfect the care of his patients dealing with both routine and complex medical conditions. The Paley Institute allows Dr. Feldman an unparalleled ability to fully treat some of the world’s most difficult orthopedic cases, including those which were previously believed to be untreatable. After graduating from the Albert Einstein School of Medicine in 1988, Dr. Feldman interned in general surgery at NYU Langone Medical Center. He completed his residency in orthopedic surgery in June 1993 and spent the next year in fellowship at The Hospital for Sick Children Toronto with a special interest in pediatric orthopedic surgery and pediatric spine surgery. In 1994, Dr. Feldman returned to New York and joined the Orthopedics Department at NYU Hospital for Joint Diseases. Since completing his studies, Dr. Feldman has been at the forefront of both simple and complex pediatric orthopedic treatments. He has helped many children with orthopedic deformities and conditions avoid surgery through early detection. His expertise with advanced non-surgical and surgical techniques has allowed hundreds of children to resume their normal activities after recovery times that are shorter than those of other methods. Dr. Feldman is also the founder of The Center for Children at NYU Langone Medical Center / NYU Hospital for Joint Diseases, an organized team of specialists that devise and implement individual plans of care for children with special needs.

Meet 𝐒𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐚𝐡.

As an infant, Savannah was diagnosed with 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐬𝐞𝐮𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐚 (𝐂𝐏𝐓) - a rare condition where the tibia repeatedly fractures and/or refuses to heal.

In most places, the recommendation can be direct.

𝐀𝐦𝐩𝐮𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.

Not because surgeons don’t care. Often, because they simply haven’t seen enough of these cases to know what else might be possible.

I did not meet Savannah until 𝟐𝟎𝟏𝟗 with a non-healing tibia and fibula bone (CPT)- the kind of problem that requires deep experience, careful planning, and a team that treats these rare conditions every day.

CROSS-UNION SURGERY PERFORMED

Fast forward seven years.

Savannah just 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐆𝐞𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐚, moved to 𝐀𝐭𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐚, and, according to her dad, walks miles between work, life, and the gym - yes, it’s been reported that she’s become a bit of a 𝐠𝐲𝐦 𝐫𝐚𝐭.

Her leg is strong.
Her life is full.
And the future that once felt uncertain now looks beautifully ordinary.

𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐛𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲

Savannah’s reminds us why experience matters and why sometimes the right TEAM changes everything.

F U E L I N G T H E P R O S.

Meet Gwyn. Again.

A little over a year ago, long hours on her feet would have been a problem.

Today?

She’s deep into her master’s in dietetics and working alongside the Detroit Pistons dietitian.

Professional kitchen.
Game nights.
Athletes to feed.
And a lot of time on her feet.

Which, it turns out, is exactly the point.

Surgery is one day.

What comes after the standing, moving, building a career you actually want - - - that’s the real outcome.

Keep going, Gwyn.

And if the Pistons suddenly start winning more games… we might know why😝

$1 million raised.

Impressive, certainly.
But the real impact is measured in families supported.

Barrels & Bites brought together a community that understands something fundamental:
children deserve access to life-changing care - - - no matter where they live.

Every bid.
Every sponsor.
Every act of generosity helps provide housing for families traveling for treatment.

And that changes everything.

Thank you to everyone who showed up, raised a paddle, sponsored a table, and made the evening possible. Your generosity will be felt by families when they need it most.

And a special thank you to Ethan, who spoke with remarkable clarity and heart - a reminder of exactly why this work matters.

𝐖 𝐎 𝐌 𝐀 𝐍 𝐎 𝐍 𝐀 𝐌 𝐈 𝐒 𝐒 𝐈 𝐎 𝐍.
𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐀𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐚.
(𝐈𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐮𝐩.)

Post–spinal stenosis surgery for achondroplasia, which, at this point, feels like the least interesting thing about her.

Senior year. Sorority life. Deadlines. Plans. A social calendar that does not consult her medical history.

Enter the two A’s: Amelia and Ash.
Service dog. Co-pilot. Silent executive assistant. Handles logistics. Expects snacks.

Yes, her world requires more planning.
Yes, it’s more complex.
No, that has not slowed her down.

This is what thoughtful surgery and relentless determination look like when they meet real life: independence that’s earned, not handed out. Laundry included.

Diagnosis? Not the headline.
Where she’s headed next? That’s the story.

S T R O N G E R T O G E T H E R.

Meet Ethan and Gwyn.
Achondroplasia.
Spine surgery. Leg surgery. Arm surgery.
Check, check, check.

Post-op. Upright. Healing. Physical therapy - and then some. Thriving.

Different paths that intersected in a waiting room, and suddenly, recovery felt a lot less solitary.

There’s something about real surgery that fast-tracks friendship. You skip the small talk. You compare scars. You tag-team tease your favorite doctor (yes, really). You celebrate millimeters like they’re miles because here, they are.

These two found each other in the middle of it.
And in doing so, stepped into something bigger - a community that understands this journey from the inside out.

Strength is impressive.
Shared strength? That’s next level.

𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝘂𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲:

Patient (me) sustained full-force cuddle-tackles by a gaggle of extremely small, highly determined humans.
Prognosis: excellent.
Treatment plan: do not move. Ever.

BEST medicine in the world❤️

𝐅𝐈𝐗𝐀𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐒 𝐎𝐅𝐅. 𝐅𝐔𝐍𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐎𝐍

𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐂𝐨𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫.
𝐔𝐭𝐚𝐡 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞.
𝐀𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐚.

𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐟𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 — 𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐞.
𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞.
𝐅𝐢𝐱𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐨𝐟𝐟.

And when it was time to hand them over, Kristen stepped in without hesitation. She’s carried them before. She understands exactly what they represent.

(And yes - they’re heavy. In every way.)

Arm lengthening in achondroplasia isn’t cosmetic. It’s functional.
It’s about access.
About actual reach.
About not having to ask for help when you don’t want to.

More independence.
More ownership of your world.

Hardware off. Life on!

UAE. Israel. Poland. ✔️✔️✔️

Patients seen. Surgeries done. Follow-ups honored.
Families travel across borders — and so do I.

Yes, there’s precision. But there’s also care. Real affection for the people behind the scans and charts.

The reason to go far and wide is simple: someone walks better. Moves stronger. Lives fuller.

Back in the West Palm Beach OR Monday morning.

So much good work and meaningful outcomes ahead.

My wife said, “self-care,”
so we self-cared.

No scalpel. No phone.
Just a couch, some aggressively hydrating eye masks,
and this medical professional following orders.

Highly recommend.

𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻.
(Yes - he’s the very tall guy next to me)

Brian has 𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗱𝘆𝘀𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗮. Often labeled a childhood condition, but frequently missed until adulthood. 𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀.

𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗸, 𝗮𝗱𝘂𝗹𝘁 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:
Hip dysplasia means the hip socket doesn’t fully support the femoral head. Over time, that misalignment leads to pain, instability, and early joint damage. Once properly diagnosed, Brian underwent 𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗰𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗯𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗲𝘀 (𝗣𝗔𝗢𝘀) to restore alignment, remove pain, improve stability, and protect his hips long-term. 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴!

Today, he’s back on his feet.
Moving forward.
Doing all the things that matter.

𝗧𝘂𝗿𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝘁, 𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗴𝗻𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴.
And YES we see adults too.

O N E Y E A R A T A T I M E.

Meet Benjamin.
He flies in from Ecuador for his annual visit. That alone tells you something.

Benjamin has pseudoachondroplasia, a condition that is very manageable with experience, precision, and respect for timing. This is where years of watching growing bodies matter. We observe. We measure. We anticipate.

If correction is needed, surgery is mapped for the right moment - not rushed, not delayed - because growth doesn’t follow a calendar, and experience tells us when to act.

Prognosis: Excellent. With careful monitoring and well-timed intervention, long-term mobility is expected to be strong.

Individualized plans. Thoughtful timing. Care built around your journey.
Close follow-up.
Clear decisions.
No drama.

A true partnership! Clear communication, shared goals, and unwavering focus on Benjamin’s best outcome.

02/03/2026

Ninety candles. Exactly. Plus one - for luck. Fire Department on standby.

Details matter. Always have.
No mystery where I inherited that particular trait.

Her life philosophy remains undefeated:
“Life takes forever—and goes by in one minute.”

Ninety years. Icon behavior only.

Happy 90th, Mom. 🕯️🖤
