Brett R. Lullo, MD

Dr. Lullo acquired advanced training in spine deformity and extremity fracture surgery during his pediatric orthopaedic surgery fellowship at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.

Originally from Naperville, Dr. Lullo has always had a passion for working with children with disabilities. He saw first-hand during a college summer-internship in the motion lab at Lurie Children’s just how pediatric orthopedic surgeons can positively influence and affect the lives of children with disabilities. During his fellowship at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, he witnessed the severity of disability that children with spinal deformities can have, and he has made it a goal to serve those children and their families.

Given his background in computer science, Dr. Lullo hopes to leverage technology to enhance pediatric care, using machine learning and data science techniques to support future orthopaedic research. He currently serves on the Technology Oversight Committee of the Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North America (POSNA).

Dr. Lullo has presented research at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgery (AAOS), American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and American Academy for Cerebral Palsy and Developmental Medicine (AACPDM).

His wife is also a Chicagoland native and a dermatologist. They met as children swimming on the same Naperville club swim team, reconnecting years later as medical school classmates. Together they spend their free time hiking through all the National Parks and Forests they can.
