Children’s bodies are constantly growing, meaning their bones, muscles, and joints respond differently to injuries and stress than adult bodies do. Pediatric orthopedic surgeons specialize exclusively in this growing skeleton, with expert knowledge on how to protect critical growth plates and treat child-specific conditions like scoliosis or clubfoot. They are also uniquely skilled at examining frightened or uncooperative children in a reassuring, family-friendly environment. Choosing a pediatric specialist ensures your child receives tailored, often non-surgical care using child-sized equipment designed just for them.

NOVA Pediatric Orthopaedics provides onsite digital radiology, pediatric durable medical equipment (DME) for all ages, and 12 vibrant colors of fiberglass casting. Dr. George Gantsoudes treats the full spectrum of pediatric orthopedic conditions, fractures, trauma, limb deformities, hip dysplasia and youth sports injuries.

You can reach NOVA Peds Ortho by phone at 703-260-BONE (703-260-2663). Our office is open weekdays from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and on weekends by appointment only.

Dr. George Gantsoudes uses the gold-standard Ponseti Method to treat clubfoot, utilizing soft-fiberglass and plaster casting. As a leading pediatric orthopedic specialist who treats a high volume of clubfoot cases in Northern Virginia, his focused approach aims for efficient, optimal corrective results to significantly relieve stress for both parents and patients.

For life-threatening or medically unstable emergencies, always go to the nearest emergency room. However, for non-life-threatening pediatric orthopedic injuries like standard fractures, sprains, and sports injuries, you can bypass long ER and Urgent Care wait times at our walk-in clinic. Open weekdays from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM (and weekends by appointment), we provide comprehensive onsite diagnosis and care in a single visit, equipped to treat even complex open or compound fractures if the child is medically stable.
