Meet Dr. Brett Lullo

I grew up in Chicago, and I'm proud to care for children and families here. As a pediatric orthopaedic surgeon, I focus on the spine: scoliosis, early-onset scoliosis, and the decisions families face when a curve starts to grow.

Every family I meet is different. Some children need only regular check-ups. Others need a brace, and some need surgery. My job is to explain each option clearly, recommend the one I believe is best for your child, and be there for you through recovery.
