Philip Gates, M.D., grew up with a dad who was a physician/surgeon who had hobbies working with his hands. Inspired by him, it felt natural to Dr. Gates to rotate through orthopedics. After residency, Dr. Gates went into general orthopedics and most enjoyed covering children's clinics. Doing those clinics, he fell in love with caring for children with Cerebral Palsy. After 12 years practicing, he took a year to do a fellowship in pediatric orthopedics at a Shriners Children's. He was very drawn to the Shriners Children's system, the way the families and children were cared for in a family-centered manner. When he completed his fellowship, Dr. Gates only looked for jobs in the Shriners Children's System. He came to Shreveport primarily because of his interest in cerebral palsy and the great need for its care in this area. Though we certainly treat all aspects of pediatric orthopedic care at Shriners Children's Shreveport, one of our strongest areas of care is the focus on children with cerebral palsy, both in care and in research.
