Board-certified pediatric spine surgeon and researcher, Dr. Jaime A. Gomez, has joined the Nicklaus Children’s Orthopedics, Sports Medicine and Spine Institute.
Dr. Gomez brings his extensive expertise in operative and nonoperative treatment of scoliosis and other complex spinal conditions in children and adolescents to one of the best children’s orthopedic programs in the nation, according to U.S. News & World Report.
His specialty includes using growth-friendly surgical techniques for young children as well as less invasive approaches such as scoliosis casting, bracing and complex spinal deformity corrections. An active researcher, Dr. Gomez focuses on clinical outcomes in pediatric orthopedics and scoliosis.
He has contributed to more than 50 peer-reviewed publications and book chapters, presented his research at national and international conferences, and participated in numerous medical-surgical trips to the Dominican Republic with World Spine Outreach and Butterfly Foundation.
“It is an honor to join the world-renowned team of specialty physicians at Nicklaus Children’s Orthopedics, Sports Medicine and Spine Institute,” Dr. Gomez said. “I’m looking forward to joining and collaborating with pioneers in the field whose innovations have shaped the advanced surgical techniques we use today to treat the most complex spinal conditions.”
Dr. Gomez earned his medical degree from Pontificia Universidad Javeriana in Bogotá, Colombia, followed by an orthopedic surgical residency at Columbia University’s New York Presbyterian Hospital. He later pursued a pediatric orthopedic fellowship at Harvard Medical School/Boston Children’s Hospital, followed by a spine surgery fellowship at New York University’s Hospital for Joint Diseases.
“Nicklaus Children’s continues to be a national leader in treating spinal disorders in children,” said Dr. Stephen George, medical director of Surgical Service and Pediatric Spinal Surgeon at Nicklaus Children’s. “With Dr. Gomez’s years of expertise and research in scoliosis treatments, we’re looking forward to continuing the legacy within the institute.
Before joining Nicklaus Children’s, Dr. Gomez served as director of Spinal Deformity and Pediatric Spine Surgery and director of Pediatric Orthopedic Education and Research at Montefiore Einstein in New York City. He also held the position of associate professor of Orthopedic Surgery and Pediatrics.
Dr. Gomez is employed by Nicklaus Children’s Pediatric Specialists, the multispecialty medical group practice of Nicklaus Children’s Health System. He is bilingual in English and Spanish.
