Norton Children’s Orthopedics of Louisville, affiliated with the UofL School of Medicine, is seeking a board-certified or board-eligible pediatric orthopedic surgeon with specialty interest in neuromuscular issues to join its growing practice. The group consists of six surgeons, one non-op physician and six (soon to be 7 or 8) advanced practice providers. The group also has one non-op fellowship and at least two orthopedic residents and frequent pediatrics or sports medicine rotators. 

Norton Children’s Orthopedics of Louisville is a well-established and growing practice with a large patient base and strong referral patterns. The group started in 1997 with a single surgeon and is now a thriving practice under management of Norton Healthcare. In this setting, a surgeon can engage in patient care and focus on building the practices she/he desires without the stress of direct practice management. The group operates in both Norton Children’s Medical Center and Norton Children’s Hospital.  Norton Children’s Hospital, located in downtown Louisville, is the area’s only level I pediatric trauma center and only dedicated pediatric full-service hospital in the state. The group is very busy with full elective OR schedules and increasing wait times for new patient appointments.
