His expertise includes scoliosis, limb deformities, fractures and sports injuries. Dr. Roberts emphasizes shared decision-making with families to create individualized care plans that align with each child’s needs and goals.

My endeavor
My endeavor is to provide the best pediatric orthopaedic care for your child.
Care philosophy
I treat every child as I would my own. Pediatric orthopaedics often doesn’t have a one-size-fits-all answer, so I work closely with families to understand their goals and help them make informed decisions. My approach is grounded in empathy, education and collaboration.

I didn't get a chance to give a review of the care I received when Michael had his surgery but I want the entire staff to know they went above and beyond to ensure he was well taken care of. This was the very first major surgery for my son and Dr. Roberts was the best part of his care and recovery. He was ahead of schedule getting back to the basketball court and he was very calming and explained everything from beginning to end. My son was extremely nervous about the procedure and again Dr. Roberts put his mind at ease.
