Philosophy
At Pediatric Orthopedic Services, we aim to provide the highest quality of care for patients. Every single patient is given the time and focus needed to fully evaulate and treat their specific needs. You will not be seen by health care extenders, medical students or residents, but will be given as much time as needed by Dr. Price, HIMSELF.
Dr. Price is conservative in his approach and will only consider surgery when indicated and all conservative measures have been exhausted.
We offer several on-site medical services for the convenience of patients, including real-time X-ray of extremities, durable medical supplies, and waterproof casts.
Understanding that health care is a team approach, full communication with pediatricians, physical and occupational therapists, radiologists and other specialists is essential in providing the best care to our patients.

“After three false diagnoses from other orthopedic surgeons, we found Dr. Price and finally received a diagnosis that was correct and well-informed. We don’t know what we would have done without him. His medical knowledge supersedes that of many doctors I have been to. Since that first visit, my daughter has suffered from quite a few other injuries, and Dr. Price has always been a source of knowledge and help with her ailments.”
Ellen from New York, NY
