When a patient Googles your name before their appointment, what do they find?

Social media for surgeons isn’t about going viral. It’s about being findable, credible, and human to the patient sitting in your waiting room who already looked you up.

Our paper in Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons digs into how online presence actually influences patient choices across orthopaedic subspecialties — and what that means for how we show up digitally as physicians.

Here’s our latest rockstar and advocate!

Today in the OR we had music from Miles Hoyt on the playlist during his scoliosis surgery. Miles is a 13-year-old musician from Florida who has Stargardt disease, a condition that causes progressive vision loss and has left him blind. He uses his talent to raise awareness and funds for retinal disease research through fundraising events and live performances, continuing to advocate for progress in vision-loss research while sharing his music.

Celebrated a special milestone as one of our complex spine patients marks her birthday during recovery. She is now recovering after two weeks of halo traction followed by spinal fusion and continuing her postoperative course with close multidisciplinary support.

We’re proud of her progress and wishing her a very happy birthday as she continues healing!

Madison was diagnosed with scoliosis in 2020, and despite bracing, physical therapy, and continued care, her curve and pain continued to progress—impacting school, swimming, and daily life. At 13, she underwent tethering surgery, supported by a dedicated medical team that helped turn fear into confidence and recovery.

Today, Madison is back in the pool and back at school, reflecting the progress made through her treatment and support system.

Emily underwent a selective thoracic fusion, a surgical approach that corrects the primary thoracic curve while allowing the lumbar curve to correct over time naturally. Preserving lumbar motion is key to maintaining flexibility, and outcomes like this help explain why she’s able to move comfortably and continue her dance without limitations.

Congenital hip dislocation and developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) occur when the hip joint is not properly seated in the socket, limiting stability and normal development. Treatment often involves a combination of closed reduction, casting, bracing, and in select cases, pelvic or femoral osteotomy to improve joint coverage and long-term hip health.

With early identification and appropriate management, many children go on to achieve excellent alignment and age-appropriate mobility.

Listen in as Alyssa, one of our PAs, describes some of the findings and treatment options.
