A large part of my clinical practice since 1999 has been devoted to the care of children with cerebral palsy. After spending nearly 10 years helping develop the multi-disciplinary cerebral palsy center at Wake Forest University, we've started a similar program in Boise, Idaho.
I'm excited to be working with a great team including Vic Kadyan, M.D. (physiatrist), Taryn Williams, P.T. (physical therapist), Teri Cron, R.N. (clinic nurse director), John Shilt, P.A.-C (physician assistant), Patty Soran, R.N. (hospital nurse coordinator), Penny Seibert, Ph.D., (Director of Neuroscience Research).
The press release and patient story regarding the program can be found by following the preceeding links.

Bio
Dr. Shilt is the Director of Pediatric Orthopaedics at St. Alphonsus Medical center in Boise, Idaho. After 10 years in academic medicine as the residency program director and Assoc. Professor at Wake Forest University, a move into private practice allows him to continue practicing pediatric orthopaedics as well as expand his practice in Endurance Sports Medicine. He has given over 100 presentations internationally, authored more than 30 articles, 5 chapters and has been the primary or co-investigator on research grants totaling more than $1 million. He most recently co-authored a chapter in Joe Friel and Gordo Byrn's book, Going Long. Dr. Shilt has been chosen as one of the "Best Doctors in America." Physicians are selected for this honor via a survey of leading specialists worldwide. These specialists are asked what doctors they would go to for treatment of a specific problem and only 4% of all physicians in the United Stages are selected as outstanding by Best Doctors'.
