Highlights
Meet Orthopedic Surgeon Keith Bachmann, MD
My name is Keith Bachmann and I'm a pediatric orthopedic surgeon at UVA Health Children's. As a pediatric orthopedic surgeon, the patients that I see are anybody who is still a child that has a musculoskeletal problem, that might involve an injury, that might involve a developmental condition, that might involve a developmental difference, that might involve spinal asymmetry. My extra special focus is in care of patients with scoliosis and other spinal deformities. When new patients come to see me, what I hope that they experience is empathy. They understand that I am going to help them through this journey with whatever their concern or condition might be. There's often a lot of fear when people come to the doctor, fear of the unknown, fear of not understanding the diagnosis that they might have been given. So hopefully what they can expect when they come to see me is demystifying some of that fear and giving a better understanding of what this condition may hold for their child, what this condition may hold for their child in the long term, and ways that we may be able to change the course of that for the patient and their family. Patients and their families should choose UVA Health Children's because of the overall team approach that is applied. You may only need to see one specialist. You may only need to see one provider at UVA Health Children's. And teamwork that is emphasized at UVA Health Children's and our ability to communicate with each other, to provide the best care and have the right person providing the best care for that patient at all times is unsurpassed.
