Scottish Rite for Children
Scottish Rite for Children, based in Dallas, Texas, is a world-renowned center of excellence in pediatric orthopedics. For more than 100 years, we’ve specialized in treating sports injuries, fractures and congenital orthopedic conditions, as well as select arthritic, neurological and learning disorders— including dyslexia. Our six Centers for Excellence in Spine, Hip, Hand, Foot, Limb Lengthening and Sports Medicine set the standard for compassionate, state-of-the-art care.
Our Story
In 1921, a group of Texas Masons approached Dallas’s first …orthopedic surgeon, Dr. W.B. Carrell, to care for children stricken with polio. When the Salk and Sabin vaccines nearly eradicated polio in the 1950s, we seized the opportunity to broaden our expertise. Today, that legacy of innovation drives everything we do—from pioneering surgical techniques to cutting-edge rehabilitation programs.
