    I provide both surgical and nonsurgical treatment options to take care of injured young athletes. I’ve focused my career on working with other pediatric sports medicine surgeons across the country to develop treatment methods best suited for the needs of growing and developing athletes, which are very different from those of adult athletes. I love caring for children and teens. It's a joy to be around them. I’m passionate about the children I treat in my practice, just as I am about my own children and family. My medical interests include: pediatric sports medicine surgery  ACL ( the anterior cruciate ligament in the knee) tears  shoulder dislocations and instability hip impingement and labral tears arthroscopic surgery of the shoulder, elbow, hip, knee and ankle bone tumors pediatric orthopedic trauma (accidents affecting the bones and muscles) I treat every patient in the way I would want myself or my child to be treated, and I try to develop health care solutions that improve quality, safety and value.

    I was raised in Bahrain and Holland before moving to the U.S., and served in the Navy in Operation Desert Storm. I’ve always been interested in athletics. In school I ran cross-country, played soccer and tennis, and was a diver for the swim team. My wife is an Occupational Medicine physician, and our daughter is an occupational therapist. I enjoy working with children and spending time with my patients and families. I always wanted to go into medicine and became interested in pediatric orthopedics after working with a professor with cerebral palsy, who also inspired me to specialize in that condition. I believe all children, regardless of financial means, should have the same opportunities for medical care when they need it. One of the reasons I joined Nemours is because it’s not-for-profit, and personal gain isn’t part of the equation. Dr. Loveless is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Small Patella Syndrome. His top areas of expertise are Congenital Femoral Deficiency, Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease (LCPD), Clubfoot, and Scoliosis.

    What is the definition of Small Patella Syndrome?

    Small patella syndrome (SPS) is a rare syndrome that mainly affects the way certain bones are formed (developed). A person with SPS usually has very small kneecaps (hypoplastic patella) or may have no kneecaps at all (aplastic). The hip (pelvic) bones may be weak, and the bones of the feet may not have formed correctly. Occasionally, bones in the face may also be affected. Small patella syndrome is caused by a change (pathogenic variant) in the TBX4 gene. The syndrome is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. Diagnosis of the syndrome is suspected based on features that can be seen in a physical exam and on imaging tests such as X-rays. Diagnosis of SPS can be confirmed with genetic testing.

    When should I see a Small Patella Syndrome doctor in Florida, US?

    There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as: 

    • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
    • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
    • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
    • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
    • You want a second opinion.  

    What should I consider when choosing a Small Patella Syndrome doctor in Florida, US?

    It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.  

    How does MediFind rank Small Patella Syndrome doctors in Florida, US?

    MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

    What types of insurance are accepted by Small Patella Syndrome doctors in Florida, US?

    Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network. 

    How can I book an appointment online with a Small Patella Syndrome doctor in Florida, US?

    MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile. If the schedule option is not available for a provider, tap the red “Show Phone Number” button on their profile to get their contact information. If you prefer to find providers who offer online scheduling, select “Schedules online” under the “Availability” category of the filter feature on the left side of the Small Patella Syndrome doctor search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Small Patella Syndrome doctor?

    Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.   

    How can I prepare for my appointment with a Small Patella Syndrome doctor in Florida, US?

    Prepare for your appointment by gathering the following items: 

    • Copies of medical records (dating back at least one year) 
    • Your medical history, including illnesses, medical conditions, surgeries, and other doctors you see 
    • Family history of disease 
    • List of current prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal remedies or supplements including names and doses 
    • Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.  
    • List of questions and concerns 
    • Your insurance card 

    You might also contact the provider’s office to see if they offer transportation or childcare services or if you’re allowed to bring a loved one for support or to take notes during your visit. 

    What questions should I ask my Small Patella Syndrome doctor?

    Here are some sample questions: 

    • Can you explain in simple terms what this condition is and how it’s treated? 
    • What symptoms or side effects should I watch for? 
    • What tests will be involved, and when can I expect results? 
    • Are there other specialists I need to see? 
    • What’s the best way to reach you if I have follow-up questions? 

    How can I learn about the latest clinical trials and research advances my Small Patella Syndrome doctor may know about?

    MediFind’s Clinical Trials tool asks you a series of questions to help you narrow down your search by health condition, age, gender, location, how far you’re willing to travel, and more. Each question you answer filters down the number of trials until you find the ones that are most relevant to you. 

    MediFind’s Latest Advances tool features summaries of recent articles published in medical journals. We use cutting-edge technology to scour medical publication databases for the latest research advancements on any given condition, then we simplify this information in a way that’s useful and easy to understand. 

    Can I filter my search to show male or female Small Patella Syndrome doctors in Florida, US?

    Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Small Patella Syndrome doctor search results page. Select “Female” or “Male” under the “Gender” category to search for female or male providers exclusively. If the “Any” option is selected, it will pull results for both male and female providers. 

    Can I filter my search to find a Small Patella Syndrome doctor that offers video calls?

    Look for the filter feature on the left-side of the Small Patella Syndrome doctor search results page. Select “Offers telehealth visits” under the Availability category to search for providers who offer virtual appointments (video calls).
