Expert, caring treatment for your child's spine

I'm Dr. Brett Lullo, a pediatric orthopedic spine surgeon at Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago. I help children with scoliosis and early-onset scoliosis grow up strong and active, and I help their families feel confident at every step.

Why families choose Dr. Lullo…

Focused on young spines.

I am Associate Director of Adolescent and Pediatric Spine Research at Lurie Children's, and I trained in pediatric orthopedics at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

Experienced with the youngest patients.

Early-onset scoliosis, a curve that starts before age 10, is a core focus of my practice and my research.

Treatment shaped by data.

With a computer science degree from Princeton, I study how data and machine learning can help predict outcomes and make surgery safer.

Conditions I treat:

  • Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis

  • Early-onset scoliosis

  • Neuromuscular, syndromic and congenital scoliosis, and kyphosis

  • Treatment options including bracing, therapy, growth-friendly and fusion surgery
