Amy L. Behman, MB ChB, PhD, FRCSC

I was first inspired to become an orthopaedic surgeon after witnessing the remarkable impact a simple cast had on healing my childhood injuries and enabling me to resume playing sports. Now, my primary career objective is to assist children and young adults in reclaiming the joy of participating in the activities they love without pain. To achieve this, I make it a point to understand my patients' goals and work with them and their families to craft a tailored recovery plan through shared decision-making. My specific areas of interest include hip problems such as hip dysplasia and Perthes disease in both children and young adults, as well as managing growth abnormalities in younger patients. Guiding patients through their formative years and aiding them in reaching their peak physical potential is what I find most motivating.
