    Colleen Ditro is a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP), certified nurse practitioner, and the lead Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) for the orthopedics, pain and wound care teams at Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children. She is on the medical advisory board of the Little People of America, is the camp nurse for Camp Seneb, a summer camp for children with skeletal dysplasia, and teaches nursing students as an adjunct faculty member at West Chester University. She’s been a pediatric nurse since 1987, and is a past board member of the National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners and the Pediatric Orthopaedic Practitioners Society (POPS). Colleen joined Nemours in 2004, and earned Nurse of the Year honors for all of Nemours in 2013. I have wanted to be a pediatric nurse since I was 16 years old, when my brother passed away from leukemia. His nurses took such great care of him, I knew what I wanted to do with my life.  I jumped at the chance to join the skeletal dysplasia team at Nemours. I saw that it was an opportunity to be part of a close-knit team and something I could jump into whole-heartedly. I really feel passionate about taking care of the families and children we see. I’m passionate about providing high-quality care to families — family-centered care, where we make sure the whole family is included and provided for. Our families often come quite a distance for care and I want to make sure they leave feeling it was worth the trip, that everything fell into place for them and they’re satisfied with the care they got.  I’m also passionate about nurses. I teach nursing at West Chester University, and do all I can to help them become great nurses and know how to provide high-quality care for families and children. I really try to help families in our skeletal dysplasia program connect with resources and with other families with similar conditions and circumstances. We have families from all over the world, so if I can make the connection for a family on the west coast, for instance, with another family of a child with a similar condition in their part of the world, they don’t have to feel like they’re out there by themselves. Dr. Ditro is highly rated in 55 conditions, according to our data. Her clinical expertise encompasses Metatropic Dysplasia, Achondroplasia, X-Linked Spondyloepiphyseal Dysplasia Tarda, Osteotomy, and Spinal Fusion. Dr. Ditro is board certified in Pediatric Nursing Certification Board. Dr. Ditro is currently accepting new patients.

    I grew up in Florida where my father was an orthopedist. I watched him making a day-to-day difference in people’s lives, and it inspired me to want that too. I started my career in Washington, D.C., working on health care policy, but quickly learned that I could be more effective by directly caring for people, so I followed in my father’s footsteps. Because of the variety of problems we encounter in the field of pediatric orthopedics, the work is always interesting and challenging. On a personal level, what I enjoy most is working with children and families. It’s so rewarding to help a child overcome obstacles so they can reach their full potential. I’m passionate about trying to help families find the right solution for their child’s problem. My special interests are children with spinal deformities, sports medicine and pediatric trauma. I’ve become passionate about injury prevention. Children are exposed to a lot of potential trauma in sports. It’s important to take precautions to keep them safe. I stay up-to-date on the latest techniques and technologies so I can deliver the highest quality care possible. I work to establish a team approach with my patients and their families. Informed decision-making leads to better outcomes, and that means bringing families in on everything they need to know about the best options for treatment.I also participate in research, student education and national organizations that help improve orthopedics. My wife and I have three children. They are part of the reason I volunteer to help children in countries that don’t have pediatric services.

    I grew up in Canada and have been involved in sports all my life. At 14, I sustained an ACL injury downhill skiing. The doctors and therapists who helped me recover piqued my interest in sports medicine, which led me to a residency and fellowship at Harvard’s teaching hospitals: Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital and Boston Children’s Hospital. I think an active lifestyle is good for everyone, especially children and adolescents. It benefits their overall health, helps them forge friendships, fosters teamwork and sportsmanship, encourages goal-setting and discipline, and it’s fun. It’s a privilege to help young athletes overcome injuries and return to the activities they love. My work has allowed me to blend my love of medicine and travel. In 2008 I was one of six physicians covering a 250 kilometer foot race through the Sahara Desert. I’ve also enjoyed providing medical coverage for the Boston Marathon, Boston Ballet, the ATP Champions Tour in Boston and Miami, college hockey, as well as many triathlons and marathons. For many young athletes, activities help them define who they are — so when they’re injured, their routine is altered and they can feel cut off from their friends. This can lead to feelings of frustration and unhappiness. So my goal is to work with the child and their family to get them back to their normal routine as quickly and safely as possible. Dr. Gibson is highly rated in 5 conditions, according to our data. Her clinical expertise encompasses Caudal Regression Syndrome, Spondylocarpotarsal Synostosis Syndrome, Scoliosis, and Trochlear Dysplasia.

    I have always been interested in medicine, as many of my family members work in the medical field. I started out in middle school as a volunteer in the NICU where my mom worked as a nurse. I loved to hold the babies, and from then on I knew I wanted to work in pediatrics. Working with kids is so much fun and there is never a dull moment! I’ve always worked with children, beginning in high school as a babysitter in my neighborhood. Before going to physician assistant school I worked with special needs children in the foster care system and as behavioral support staff in a preschool. Working with children brings me so much joy, and their little personalities never fail to brighten my day. I’m passionate about educating patients and families about orthopedics. Knowledge is power for parents who are dealing with a new diagnosis, whether it be a simple fracture or a more complex problem. In my free time I love to read, run and cook. I’m from a small town in northeastern Pennsylvania, but moved south to escape winter and work at Nemours. In all aspects of my life, I try to be as positive as possible. Patients can expect my enthusiasm for orthopaedics to be evident from the beginning of the visit. It truly is the happiest part of my day seeing each pediatric patient, and I hope that joy is obvious. I try to make a difference by taking time to educate both patients and their families and by patiently answering every question I can.

    As a physician assistant, I care for kids with fractures and provide sports medicine and general orthopedic care. I’m also certified in athletic training and I’ve done that at the high school and college levels. I love endurance running and soccer. I also have a young daughter. I have always enjoyed working with children and watching them grow. Children are resilient and we are able to care for them when they need us the most. Taking care of children is challenging but very rewarding. I am passionate about helping children return to normal activities and being able to participate in activities to their full ability. Whether it’s an acute fracture or chronic musculoskeletal condition, I feel strongly about educating the child and parents to live life to the fullest. Children and their parents come to me at scary vulnerable times of their life. They are hurt and scared of the unknown. I am compassionate and understanding while treating the problem and alleviating fears. I try to put myself in their place as a patient and as a parent.

    What is an orthopedic doctor? 

    An orthopedic doctor — also called an orthopedist — focuses on diagnosing, treating, and preventing problems with the bones, muscles, joints, ligaments, and tendons. These parts of your body make up the musculoskeletal system. The word “orthopedic” originally meant “straighten children,” as the field first helped children with bone and spine issues. Today, orthopedic doctors care for people of all ages, treating everything from broken bones and joint pain to sports injuries and long-term conditions like arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome. 

    Why am I being referred to an orthopedic doctor?      

    Your primary care doctor might refer you to an orthopedic doctor if you have problems with your bones, joints, or muscles that require expert care. This could be due to an injury, such as a broken bone or torn ligament, or a chronic condition like arthritis or back pain. You might also see an orthopedic doctor if you’re experiencing pain, swelling, stiffness, or difficulty moving part of your body. They specialize in diagnosing and treating these issues and may suggest treatments like physical therapy, medication, or surgery to help you heal and regain strength.  

    What is the difference between orthopedic and orthopedist?  

    “Orthopedic” is the branch of medicine that focuses on treating the musculoskeletal system. An “orthopedist” is a doctor who practices in this field. For example, if you have a broken bone, you might see an orthopedist (the doctor) who specializes in orthopedic (musculoskeletal) care. Think of it this way — orthopedic describes what they do, and orthopedist describes who they are. 

    What surgeries are performed by orthopedic doctors?  

    Orthopedic doctors (orthopedists) and orthopedic surgeons both treat musculoskeletal conditions, but only surgeons perform surgeries. Orthopedic doctors focus on non-surgical methods. Surgeries include: 

    • Joint replacement surgeries: These replace worn-out joints, such as the knee or hip, with artificial ones. This is often done for arthritis patients to relieve pain and improve movement. 
    • Arthroscopy: This minimally invasive procedure uses small tools and a camera to repair problems inside a joint, such as torn cartilage or ligament damage. 
    • Fracture repair: Orthopedic doctors can stabilize broken bones using screws, plates, or rods to help them heal correctly. 
    • Spinal surgeries: These include procedures like fixing a herniated disc, stabilizing the spine, or correcting scoliosis. 
    • Tendon or ligament repairs: These surgeries fix injuries like a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee or a ruptured Achilles tendon in the ankle. 

    Some surgeries are outpatient, meaning you can go home the same day, while others might require a hospital stay for recovery. 

    When should I see an Orthopedic Doctor near saint cloud, FL?

    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 Orthopedic Doctor near saint cloud, FL?

    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 Orthopedic Doctors near saint cloud, FL?

    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 Orthopedic Doctors near saint cloud, FL?

    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 Orthopedic Doctor in saint cloud?

    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 Orthopedic Doctor search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Orthopedic 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 Orthopedic Doctor near saint cloud, FL?

    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 Orthopedic 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 Orthopedic 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 Orthopedic Doctors near saint cloud, FL?

    Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Orthopedic 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 Orthopedic Doctor that offers video calls?
