His areas of expertise include the management of hip dysplasia, developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE), deformity correction, Perthes disease, guided growth procedures, neuromuscular disorders, cerebral palsy, and foot and ankle pathologies in children. He is proficient in minimally invasive techniques for conditions such as hallux valgus, cavovarus foot deformity, and flatfoot.
Dr. Crompton is an advocate of non-surgical management wherever possible, emphasizing that surgery is only recommended when it is the most appropriate option.

Everything healed well and Ellis is now back at the gym and will start competing in CrossFit
I wanted to thank you for not only your work on Ellis’ elbow, but your positive attitude and swift treatment. Everything healed well and Ellis is now back at the gym and will start competing in CrossFit – I don’t think he would be doing this without your help.
