About SpineKIDS.com
Here's what we're all about.

The mission of SpineKIDS.com is to promote understanding of the care and treatment of scoliosis and to provide a community that supports kids and families living with scoliosis in a safe, fun environment on the Web.

SpineKIDS.com is a community for parents and kids dealing with scoliosis. The idea came to Nurse Sharon as she was working with one of her patients. As the surgical coordinator for Long Island Spine Specialists (We call it LISS), Nurse Sharon sees many kids with spinal problems. She wanted to build a place on the Web to send her patients where she could provide the support they need. That idea snowballed into what SpineKIDS.com is today, not just a place for Nurse Sharon's and Dr. M's patients, but for Scoliosis patients and families nationwide. We hope you enjoy the site.

This site is run by Long Island Spine Specialists, an Orthopaedic Surgery practice located on Long Island in Commack, NY. Dr. M(ermelstein) concentrates on pediatric issues like scoliosis and is on the cutting edge of surgical technology. Nurse Sharon is the Surgical Coordinator at LISS. She runs the surgical department scheduling, and helps patients get ready for their surgery. (Don't tell her other patients, but she enjoys working with kids the best!) To find out more about LISS, you can visit us on the web at www.lispine.com.
