Services
Pediatric Fracture Care
Specialized treatment for childhood fractures, addressing growth plate injuries and developmental considerations. Our approach combines advanced imaging, casting, and surgical fixation to ensure proper bone alignment and long-term joint health. We treat common fractures from playground accidents and sports injuries with techniques tailored to children's healing processes.
Sports Medicine
Comprehensive care for young athletes with sports-related injuries like ACL tears and Little League shoulder. We offer diagnostic imaging, physical therapy, and surgical interventions when needed. Our specialists understand growth-related risks and focus on preventing long-term damage while helping patients return to competitive activities safely.
Growth-Plate Disorders
Expert management of growth plate conditions including scoliosis and Blount's disease. We provide bracing, monitoring, and surgical correction to address abnormal bone development. Early intervention helps prevent severe deformities and ensures proper skeletal maturation in growing children and teens.
Tendon Repair
Advanced treatment for tendon injuries like rotator cuff tears and trigger finger. Our minimally invasive techniques restore mobility while minimizing scarring. Post-operative rehabilitation programs focus on regaining strength and function in affected limbs, with specialized protocols for young patients' recovery needs.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
State-of-the-art surgical techniques using small incisions and specialized instruments. This approach reduces pain, shortens recovery times, and lowers infection risks. We apply these methods to procedures like arthroscopy and fracture fixation, adapting technology for optimal outcomes in pediatric patients' developing bodies.

DR. Kjeldgaard is a Christian doctor that cares for and about his patients. He is very concerned about his patients and the results of the surgery. He did back surgery on me a few weeks ago and I am totally pain free now. His staff is always friendly and considerate. Also, he is timely with his appointments.

Wait times were horrendous! Hours later! She rushed putting a cast on my child. When I brought my child in and said it hurt, she begrudgingly said she would have to remove the cast. Of course I said yes, knowing my child could have a wound. My child did and it had to be treated. Left a scar. She was in such a hurry. I left and told another nurse that it was the worst cast I'd seen. Then later this problem.

What's the point of making an appointment when the doctor won't honor my appointment time? Been waiting for over an hour already and no doctor in sight! I have to show up on time or they will charge me but they certainly do not have to see you at your appointment time. They didn't do temperature checks or control how many people are in the office, so I'm pretty sure they aren't concerned one bit about covid.
They over schedule every time we come here. I DO NOT recommend this place unless you mind waiting for a really long time with no explanation as to what's going on. If I could give zero stars, that's what they'd get. Totally unprofessional. Don't waste your time with this office.
