<p>Dr. Gomez moved to New York City from Bogota-Colombia after earning his medical degree from the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana. He completed his internship and residency in Orthopaedic Surgery at Columbia University where he obtained the prestigious <em>&ldquo;Rosamond Kane Award for Excellence in Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgery&rdquo;</em>. Following residency, Dr. Gomez graduated from the Pediatric Orthopaedic Fellowship at Harvard&rsquo;s Boston Children&rsquo;s Hospital. Then he went on to pursue a Spinal Surgery Fellowship at NYU/Hospital for Joint Diseases.</p>
<p>Dr. Gomez&rsquo; premier training enables him to provide superior care to children, adolescents and adults undergoing spinal surgery with the proficiency of a spine surgeon and the perspective of a pediatric orthopaedic surgeon.&nbsp; He has trained and applied cutting edge growth friendly techniques for young children with scoliosis such as &ldquo;MAGEC&rdquo; which is a magnetic growing rod that allows for growth of young children with early onset scoliosis avoiding repeat surgical procedures. He has significant interest in less invasive techniques such a scoliosis casting as well as the most complex deformity correction osteotomies for scoliosis both in children and adults. He treats a wide array of musculoskeletal pathology with special interest in the treatment of:</p>
<ul>
<li>Early Onset, Congenital and Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis</li>
<li>Spondylolisthesis</li>
<li>Pediatric Cervical Spine Pathology</li>
<li>Cerebral Palsy</li>
<li>Hip Dysplasia</li>
<li>Pediatric Fractures and Trauma</li>
</ul>
<p>Dr. Gomez has also volunteered to perform complex surgeries in developing countries. He worked with &ldquo;Butterfly Foundation&rdquo; in Dominican Republic and with &ldquo;Healing the Children&rdquo; in Colombia providing orthopedic surgical care and training to local orthopaedists. Being a native Spanish speaker, he is particularly attuned to the different cultural backgrounds of the city of New York. Dr. Gomez is an active member of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS), North American Spine Society (NASS) and the Pediatric Orthopedic Society of North America (POSNA).</p>
