(DALLAS – January 11, 2017) – Corey S. Gill, M.D., M.A., has joined the pediatric orthopedic surgical staff of Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children. Gill will lead the team for general orthopedics at the new Scottish Rite for Children Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center opening in Frisco this fall. Until the new center opens, he will primarily see patients at the interim facility located in Plano. 

Gill comes to Scottish Rite Hospital from private practice at Southwest Pediatric Orthopedics here in Dallas. In addition to his role at Southwest Pediatric Orthopedics, Gill also served as the Medical Director of Pediatric Orthopedics at Medical City Dallas. During his time as director, he helped guide Medical City’s transition from a Level III to Level II Trauma Center for pediatric orthopedics. 

“Dr. Gill first came to Scottish Rite Hospital for his fellowship in 2012,” says Daniel J. Sucato, M.D., M.S., Scottish Rite Hospital Chief of Staff. “Seeing his skills flourish during his fellowship, and in his post-fellowship practice here in Dallas, has been an honor. It’s exciting to welcome him back as he returns to join our orthopedic surgical staff.” 

Before completing Scottish Rite Hospital’s Dorothy & Bryant Edwards Fellowship in Orthopedics and Scoliosis in 2013, Gill attended medical school at Washington University in St. Louis where he earned both his doctor of medicine and master’s degree. He completed his orthopedic surgical residency at the Washington University in St. Louis’ Department of Orthopedics. 

“It’s an exciting time to be at Scottish Rite Hospital,” says Gill. “The world of medicine and health care is ever changing and Scottish Rite Hospital is positioned to remain at the forefront of both patient care and education.  The hospital provided me with a world-class fellowship training experience and I’m thrilled to be returning to the staff in a more permanent capacity.”

“Our highest priority at Scottish Rite Hospital is to provide world-class care to our patients,” says Robert L. Walker, Scottish Rite Hospital president/CEO. “Dr. Gill’s expertise and leadership experience will ensure our patients continue to receive the highest level of care possible. As our organization continues to expand, we are extremely pleased to have him join our staff during this significant period of growth.” 

Gill is actively involved in both the medical and local Dallas community. In addition to his role at Scottish Rite Hospital, he will also serve as an assistant professor in UT Southwestern’s Department of Orthopaedic Surgery. He is a member of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, the Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North America and the Texas Medical Association.
