Biography
Dr. Albert Knuth's one and only goal is to provide the finest quality of pediatric and adolescent orthopedic care in a comfortable and caring environment. He has been recognized many times for his compassion and excellence in the care of his patients. As a father of six children and foster father to many more, he prides himself in understanding the parent-child relationship and its impact on medical care.
Dr. Knuth is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon specializing in pediatric orthopedics, limb lengthening, and reconstructive surgery. He has been practicing in the northwest suburbs of Chicago since 1998. His special interests are pediatric fracture care, club foot, scoliosis, and limb length inequality.
After completing his undergraduate education, medical school, and orthopedic surgery residency program at Northwestern University in Chicago, Dr. Knuth went on to complete his pediatric orthopedic and scoliosis fellowship at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children in Dallas.
Dr. Knuth is an active member of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, the Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North America, and the Limb Lengthening and Reconstructive Society.
Dr. Knuth enjoys spending time with his wife and six children. He is an avid sports fan and likes his rock ‘n’ roll music.
It’s my honor to care for children. Being a pediatric orthopedic surgeon means we treat both the child and the parent with clinical care, education, and with heart.”
