Why us?

- Multidisciplinary care model for best outcomes
- Multiple locations throughout Greater Houston
As part of our Pediatric Orthopedics division, the Clubfoot Program at UTHealth Houston delivers specialized, patient-centered care led by fellowship-trained pediatric orthopedic surgeons, physician assistants, and pediatric-specific physical therapists with extensive experience managing congenital and complex foot deformities.
Our provider team carefully works through all aspects of diagnosis, treatment planning, manipulation and casting, bracing, and close coordination with a network of pediatric specialists. This multidisciplinary approach supports the child and family through every phase of care by routinely collaborating with:
- Maternal-fetal medicine and neonatology teams for prenatal and early-life planning
- Pediatric physical therapists to help maintain foot correction and accelerate global motor milestones
- Pediatric orthotists for standard and custom bracing solutions
- Pediatric neurology and neurosurgery, when needed, for patients with related medical complexities
Our surgical team follows the principles of the Ponseti method, using manipulation and serial casting to optimize outcomes and avoid invasive procedures when possible. Each treatment plan is carefully tailored to meet the unique needs of the child and their family.
