Pediatric spine surgeon and past Chief of Staff at Shriners Children's SoCal. SCMG Recruitment & Development Lead. Interests: spine & limb deformity, trauma.
10 years. I tell all of my residents that they will be my colleagues far longer than I will be their attending. So I always treat them as such.
This is an awesome study that helps give patients and surgeons real data to understand risk of progression of scoliosis depending on curve size and Sanders score (growth potential). Congrats to @JaxScoliosisDoc for his hard work and thoughtfulness about this paper!
Proud to share our latest publication in the Spine Deformity journal. rdcu.be/dQKWz We used the same methodology as Sanders, et al. to create predictive tables for girls and boys with progression of AIS to 35°, 40°, 45°, and 50°. @Nemours @MayoClinic @Mizzou
This guy is kind of an over-actor
Follow along with Dr. Robert Cho as he shows you what a day in the life of a pediatric spine surgeon looks like! #ScoliosisAwarenessMonth #Dayinthelife #SpineSurgeon #SpineSurgery #Pediatrics #SAM24 #SRS @drrobertcho
This is gonna be a fun one! Looking forward to seeing new research and technology. And also seeing my friends from around the world!
One of the best meetings for new technology and innovative techniques in spinal deformity surgery. One month away in beautiful #SanDiego! @SRS_org @drrobertcho @drsukenshah @RonHawary @KhoiThanMD @BenElderMD @ErkilincMd @TPazionis
Late repost but this was an amazing meeting. Some of the smartest minds thinking about how to better treat #scoliosis. Great seeing the new faces as well, like @CraigLouer and @doctabrooks with awesome new research ideas!
Hanging with HSG researchers this weekend. Very inspired (and overwhelmed) to get a chance to be mentored by this group and hopefully contribute to emerging spine research! Thx to leadership and staff of #HarmsStudyGroup and @SRChildren_ for hosting. #scoliosis
Just wrapped up in Barcelona at the 59th @SRS_org Annual Meeting. Learned so much! The best part was seeing my friends from around the world. These meetings make me a better surgeon and make me excited to help more patients with scoliosis. Look forward to the next one! #srsam24




Kicking off the 59th Annual @SRS_org meeting! Excited to see new techniques to help kids with #scoliosis and to see old friends! #srsam24 #srsam2024

See you all soon at the @SRS_org Annual Meeting!
Busy but exciting day ahead at @SRS_org #SRSAM24! @drsukenshah @RonHawary @drrobertcho @BenElderMD @TPazionis
Awesome gift from a patient today—A bracelet & custom card with a touching note inside from the patient & family. We bonded over a shared love of @taylorswift13 and played it in the OR. I love taking care of awesome kids like her! @shrinerssocal @shrinershospitals #scoliosis




This is a 11 year old w/syndromic scoliosis from a mitochondrial abnormality. Very stiff curve corrected w/temp internal distraction, Pontes, & dual rod reduction. Alignment was improved in all three planes. Six months and doing great. @shrinerssocal @shrinershospitals #scoliosis



The @POSNA_org Leadership Program has come to an end and it has been an amazing ride. Incredible mentors and colleagues helped to provide a once in a lifetime experience. But more importantly, we forged friendships that will last forever!

Dr. Harrington @melharrington is one of our specialty’s treasures. And another fantastic #OrthoLeader in @aoa1887 #Leadership #LeadFromTheFront
Highly recommend this program to all of my pediatric orthopedic colleagues. It’s one of the most rewarding things I have ever done in my career. I’ve grown so much as a person and leader from it. Also got to really bond with my leadership classmates. 10/10 would do again!

Thank you @LAmag and all of my peers who nominated me to this list! Although I don’t do my job for the platitudes, it is nice to get recognized for working so hard for my patients. Leading our medical center and taking care of children in need is my life’s mission.
