“My son broke his arm and went to two different orthopedics here in Port St Lucie, Florida. They set his arm wrong and we had all kinds of issues. We immediately took him to Nicklaus Children's Hospital, formerly Miami Children's Hospital, the day we found out they had messed up his arm. To save my son from surgery the doctor tried to fix the damage that was done right then and there. My son was spared surgery because of the expertise of the doctors. We had to have five cast total put on his arm throughout treatment and he recovered beautifully. The staff was excellent to my family throughout this nightmare. Thank you for your excellent help. We love you all.”

Experiencing pain and hindering her from everyday activities, A’mya’s future remained uncertain.

Jayla was like most kids. Some days she'd mention her back hurt, and other days she'd run around without a single complaint. Jayla’s father had always noticed that one of Jayla's shoulders sat slightly higher than the other, but it never raised any red flags, especially since Jayla didn’t complain or notice the difference herself. It took an unlikely turn of events, a simple cold and a chest X-ray, for the truth to finally surface. At 13 years old Jayla was diagnosed with scoliosis and needed corrective surgery for her spine.
