Skeletal Dysplasia Expertise and Coordinated Care
Trusted Genetic Specialists
Our genetic providers diagnose and manage complex bone conditions. We use detailed exams and genetic testing to confirm a clear diagnosis. About 150 patients receive care in our center each year.
We support families with recurrence risk counseling and family planning guidance. This helps parents make informed decisions for the future.
Access to New and Emerging Treatments
Our team participates in clinical trials for hypophosphatasia, osteogenesis imperfecta, and both achondroplasia and hypochondroplasia. These include medication trials and long-term research studies.
If a drug becomes FDA approved, we are prepared to prescribe it quickly because of our direct trial experience. This allows faster access to new therapies when available.
Coordinated Care Across Specialties
Skeletal dysplasia can affect many parts of the body. We partner closely with orthopaedics, neurosurgery, pulmonary medicine, ENT, dental specialists and physical therapy.
We work together to create one clear plan. We also communicate with your child’s local doctors to support care close to home when possible.
Expert Second Opinions and Clear Guidance
Many families come to our center after prior evaluations when questions still remain. Our specialists review previous records and imaging, confirm the diagnosis, and explain what it means for your child now and in the future. About 30% of new patients are referred to us for additional expertise or diagnostic clarification. Before you leave, you will understand the condition, treatment options, and the next steps in care.
Families visit us from both the local community and across the Midwest because skeletal dysplasia often requires highly specialized care. Our team coordinates testing and appointments in advance so visits remain focused and productive. Each appointment is designed to provide clear guidance and confidence in your child’s long-term care plan.
