Sheryl Handler-Matasar, MD

Description

Of all the medical specialties, orthopedic surgery is arguably the most physically demanding. Pushing bones back into place requires brute force, while long surgery sessions demand stamina – which may explain why orthopedics is one of the few medical specialties still male-dominated. Today only 4% of board-certified orthopedic surgeons are women.  Dr. Sheryl Handler  at Akron Children’s is among that select group.
