About Dr. Shirley
My clinical practice focuses on pediatric/adolescent/young adult spinal deformity, sports medicine, fractures/trauma, and general pediatric orthopaedics. I am board certified in orthopaedic surgery and orthopaedic sports medicine. I also provide expert consultation services.
I have written more than 50 book chapters and journal articles. I teach annually at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons Board Review Course and routinely on the educational website orthobullets.com. I was honored to receive a Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North American Traveling Fellowship to South America. I also have an interest in international health care and have travelled to 15 countries in Africa, Central America, and South America.
My greatest interest is providing patient care. It is truly fulfilling to assist my patients in recovery after an injury or surgery and to get to know children who grow up with a musculoskeletal problem. After a comprehensive evaluation, I explain the problem and treatment options in an understandable manner so that we can comfortably arrive at the appropriate plan together.
