Dr. Tracy Lee Roberts, MD

Kendall Pediatric Specialists choose to make the care of children the focus of our medical practice. The unique nature of medical and surgical care of children is learned from advanced training and experience in practice.

Orthopedic Pediatric Surgeons understand that children have unique and special needs. Because we take care of children only, we have a distinct advantage of maintaining a focus on children's particular problems.

When dealing with children, you want to know that you have chosen a doctor who can ease your child's mind - a doctor with whom you child can be comfortable and trusting. As physicians, we believe it is essential to build a relationship with each family. It is important to relate to children as children. Our physicians know an understanding approach helps to calm fears for both the child and the parents.

Pediatric Orthopedic Surgery
A pediatric orthopedist is the best-trained and most experienced doctor to properly evaluate and treat musculoskeletal …(bone, joint, or muscle) problems in a child who is still growing. This includes newborn babies through teenagers. Our pediatric orthopedic surgeon (link to Dr. Tracy Roberts’ profile) chose to make the care of children the focus of her medical practice. The unique nature of the medical and surgical care of children is learned from advanced training and experience in practice.

A child's musculoskeletal problems are different from those of an adult. Because children are still growing, the body's response to injuries, infections, and deformities may be quite different than what would be seen in a full-grown person.

Our Pediatric Orthopedic Surgeon diagnoses, treats, and manages children's musculoskeletal problems, such as:

• Limb and spine deformities noted at birth or later in life (clubfoot, scoliosis, limb length differences)
• Foot and ankle problems
• Hip disorders
• Gait abnormalities (limping)
• Broken bones
• Bone or joint infections and tumors
