Introduction

After his fellowship at Boston Children’s Hospital, Dr. Devito focused his surgical career on caring for pediatric spine patients. Dr. Devito serves as the Medical Director of the Spine Program at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. He specializes in the treatment of scoliosis and other complex spinal disorders and deformities in children, adolescents and young adults.

Dr. Devito is a leader in advanced surgical technology including the surgical use of robotics for scoliosis surgery in children and adolescents. He is also experienced with the VEPTR device used to treat complex chest wall deformities seen in congenital scoliosis and early onset scoliosis. He received the Health-Care Innovations Heroes award for his work in this area.

Dr. Devito’s other orthopaedic interests include advanced limb reconstruction and trauma. He is board certified by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, a member of the Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North America, a fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics, and offers more than 30 years of pediatric orthopaedic surgical experience. Dr. Devito is a consulting associate for the Duke Department of Orthopaedic Surgery.

In his free time he enjoys outdoor activities like bicycling, skiing, and hiking while never hesitating to put together a gourmet meal, as I enjoy cooking; but my favorite activity is playing with my 10 grandchildren!
