After completing his fellowship, Amer Samdani, M.D., joined the staff at Shriners Children's Philadelphia in 2005.

Fusionless strategies to treat children, such as vertebral body tethering, have been a major focus of his clinical work.

Outside of clinical practice, Dr. Samdani is very active in research and education. He sits on the executive committee of the Harms Study Group and is a board member of the Pediatric Spine Study Group.
