Scottish Rite for Children

At Scottish Rite for Children, we set the global benchmark in pediatric orthopedics—delivering world-class care for children and adolescents with musculoskeletal conditions, sports injuries and fractures, as well as select arthritic, neurological and learning disorders such as dyslexia.

Our story began in 1921, when a coalition of Texas Masons invited Dallas’s first orthopedic surgeon, Dr. W.B. Carrell, to treat children stricken by polio. As vaccines such as Salk and Sabin all but eliminated polio across the Western Hemisphere, we channeled our expertise into a broader spectrum of orthopedic challenges.

Today, our unwavering commitment to excellence drives us to pioneer new treatments, spearhead transformative research and train health-care professionals around the globe—all with a singular purpose: to give children back their childhood. Through our six Centers of Excellence—in Spine, Hip, Hand, Foot, Limb Lengthening and Sports Medicine—we continue to redefine what’s possible in pediatric orthopedics.
