David S. Feldman, MD Dr. Feldman is director of the Spinal Deformity and Hip Pain Centers at the Paley Institute

Dr. Feldman spent 15 years as the Chief of Pediatric Orthopedic Surgery at NYU Medical Center in New York City. In 2015, he relocated his practice to the Paley Institute to expand and perfect the care of his patients dealing with both routine and complex medical conditions. The Paley Institute allows Dr. Feldman an unparalleled ability to fully treat some of the worldโ€™s most difficult orthopedic c

ases, including those which were previously believed to be untreatable. After graduating from the Albert Einstein School of Medicine in 1988, Dr. Feldman interned in general surgery at NYU Langone Medical Center. He completed his residency in orthopedic surgery in June 1993 and spent the next year in fellowship at The Hospital for Sick Children Toronto with a special interest in pediatric orthopedic surgery and pediatric spine surgery. In 1994, Dr. Feldman returned to New York and joined the Orthopedics Department at NYU Hospital for Joint Diseases. Since completing his studies, Dr. Feldman has been at the forefront of both simple and complex pediatric orthopedic treatments. He has helped many children with orthopedic deformities and conditions avoid surgery through early detection. His expertise with advanced non-surgical and surgical techniques has allowed hundreds of children to resume their normal activities after recovery times that are shorter than those of other methods. Dr. Feldman is also the founder of The Center for Children at NYU Langone Medical Center / NYU Hospital for Joint Diseases, an organized team of specialists that devise and implement individual plans of care for children with special needs.

Kaile Jo

Some people work in childcare.

And some people become part of the scaffolding holding families up.

The calm voice. The fierce advocate. The person who notices the thing no one else notices. The one fighting for services, celebrating progress, solving problems, protecting dignity, and loving children exactly as they are while helping build what is possible.

This work is skilled work. Complex work. Often invisible work.

And Kaile Jo does it with intelligence, humor, compassion, and the kind of wholehearted commitment that changes the trajectory of children and the emotional weather of families.

Kids do better because of people like her.
Parents sleep a little easier because of people like her.
The world is unquestionably better because of people like her.

And yesโ€ฆ childcare advocates deserve substantially more applause, more support, and probably stronger coffee.

Thank you for all the birthday wishes.

My phone was buzzing all day with thoughtful messages, and hearing from so many patients was a reminder of just how fortunate I am.

I spent the day with a tree old enough to offer unsolicited life advice, a hike with Bacon+Marley, a turtle that absolutely refused to cross the street despite extensive negotiation efforts, the Knicks, and my favorite person.

A pretty perfect day. More love than a guy deserves.

Logan

Living with Multiple Hereditary Exostoses (MHE).

Post major hip surgery.

With MHE, abnormal bone growth can reshape the hip, limit movement, and create problems that do not improve by politely ignoring them.

The goal of surgery: better alignment, better mechanics, better long-term joint function.

Now comes recovery.

Less dramatic.
Not less important.

Just the slow, disciplined work of rebuilding strength, movement, and confidence.

One day at a time.
One step at a time.

Amanda

Diagnosed with an aneurysmal bone cyst.

Benign by definition. Less benign in behavior.

These lesions can weaken bone, cause pain, and raise the risk of fracture.

Treatment is focused on controlling the cyst, restoring bone strength, and getting this very active teenager back to doing what very active teenagers are supposed to be doing.

Now: planning carefully, preparing thoughtfully, and getting Amanda ready for whatโ€™s next.

Big month ahead.

Big future

Iโ€™ve known Emmett longer than he can remember - since he was a baby, before there was a plan.

Congenital Pseudarthrosis of the Tibia (CPT): where bone doesnโ€™t reliably become bone.

Five surgeries in. Back for follow-up.

Thereโ€™s a version of this story that happens in an operating room.
Most of it doesnโ€™t.

This is years.
Decisions. Adjustments. Restraint.

What you donโ€™t see in a single photo: time, recalibration, discipline.
What you do: progress that holds.

And a kid who keeps showing up and becoming more himself.

Nathan

Achondroplasia - the most common form of dwarfism, where bone growth is altered, particularly in the arms and legs, while the torso develops more typically - safely on his terms.

Legs? Done.
Spine? Stabilized.
Nathan? Thriving.

This summer: arms.

Not chasing height -
claiming reach.
Function.
Control over the details that actually run a life.

A few inches -
and suddenly the world meets you differently.

Deliberate.
Calculated.

VACTERL - meaning her spine and lower spine developed a bit differently, so growth needs guidance.

Back for her MAGEC rod lengthening. Sounds complicated - itโ€™s a magnetic rod that adjusts as she grows - no repeat surgeries.

So today:
No OR.
No anesthesia.

Just a quick, in-office adjustment.
A few millimeters. Exactly enough. Perfect!
