Dr. José David Pinto Hernandez

I am a highly qualified Orthopedic and Traumatology specialist. I graduated Summa Cum Laude in Orthopedics and Traumatology from the Carlos Chagas Institute of Medical Postgraduate Studies in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 2013, after earning my medical degree in 2007 from the Autonomous University of Bucaramanga, Colombia.

My extensive experience includes serving as an Orthopedic Surgeon at COLMEDICA MP Medical Center in Bucaramanga, Colombia, since December 2013. In this role, I provide comprehensive care for orthopedic and traumatology conditions in both pediatric and adult patients, including outpatient consultations and interconsultations.

Prior to this, I gained significant expertise in spine surgery as an Assistant to the Head of Spinal Pathologies at Joari Health and Maternity Home - Rede D'Or Sao Luiz in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where I performed various spinal surgeries (open, percutaneous, minimally invasive) and managed complex spinal conditions. I also served as an Assistant Resident Physician in Spine Surgery at Vertebralis.

My background also includes a residency in Pediatric Orthopedics and Traumatology at Sao Zacharias Hospital in Rio de Janeiro. Here, I specialized in pediatric orthopedic consultations, cast application for traumas and deformities, including Ponsetti and Kite techniques for foot correction, and performed pediatric orthopedic surgeries.

I am committed to continuous learning, regularly participating in advanced courses and congresses on spine pathology, pediatric orthopedics, and foot and ankle conditions. My scientific contributions include published works and presentations at international congresses on topics such as pediatric foot deformities and surgical techniques.
