Growing Bones Pediatric & Neuromuscular Orthopeadic Institute is dedicated to expanding exceptional subspecialty orthopaedic care to all children and individuals with chronic neurological conditions in Central and Southern Delaware.
We treat all general pediatric orthopaedic conditions including: Trauma, Congenital & adolescent disorders, and sports injuries.
We specialize in the care of children and adults with chronic neurologic conditions including: cerebral palsy, spina bifida, and Down's Syndrome.
Dr. Connor is a Board Certified Orthopaedic Surgeon who provides general pediatric orthopaedic services to all children as well as subspecialized orthopaedic services for children and adults with neuromuscular disorders. Pediatric orthopaedists are specifically trained in the care of childhood conditions and injuries. Neuromuscular conditions are disorders, often diagnosed at birth, that have their own specialized needs. Furthermore, when children age out of the traditional pediatric system they often have significant difficulty in transitional services into adulthood. Dr. Connor is committed to providing services that address health disparities across Kent and Sussex county. Growing Bones believes that every child deserves exceptional care everywhere.
We ♥ our patients & their families so much, we’ll let them do the talking!

Dr. Connor and his staff are amazing. Always helpful with any questions you have. Dr. Connor does not make his pts wait for weeks to be seen and he will call you himself with any test results. Definitely recommend this practice.

Very patient with my 6 yr old. My mom had to take her to the apartment while I was working and Dr offered to have a video conference with me since I wasn’t present at the appointment to explain the options for a cyst behind her knee. Many doctors would just have expected the person attending the appropriate to relay the information, but he went above and beyond. I feel confident and less stressed knowing she will be in good hands during her surgery. I would absolutely recommend this practice. Dr Justin is a rare find!

I am very happy with the treatment we have received at Growing Bones. the office staff is kind and very accommodating. Dr. Conner goes above and beyond to meet the needs of his patients! because of my own clinical background I tend to have high expectations. Growing Bones exceeded my expectations in everyway. If your child needs Dr. Conners service, you will receive the best treatment with him

At a sport instructor and an individual who sees injuries often, having a knowledgeable doctor is important. Dr. Conner and his staff are very knowledgeable and help ensure your your child’s health comes first. Not to mention their communication with you leading up to your appointment and following up afterwards is amazing. They communicate with you and make sure your concerns are taking care of. I would refer my family, friends and athletes to this practice anytime. Five star doctor and staff.

Dr. Connor was great with my son. He made him feel comfortable and involved him in his care. We also loved the waterproof cast option which made for an easy care, stress free summer in a cast!
