Dr. Connor earned a medical degree from Washington University School of Medicine in Saint Louis, Missouri, and he completed his orthopedic surgery residency at Howard University Hospital in Washington, D.C. He went on to complete a pediatric orthopedic surgery fellowship at Alfred I. DuPont Hospital for Children in Wilmington, Delaware and joined their medical staff as a pediatric orthopedic surgeon with the Neuromuscular Division. During this time, he led the orthopedic branch of the Spina Bifida Program and was an interpreting physician in their nationally accredited Gait and Motion Analysis Laboratory. Most recently, Dr. Connor practiced as a pediatric orthopedic surgeon at Overland Park Regional Medical Center in Overland Park, Kansas before returning to central Delaware to open his medical practice.
Based in Dover, his private practice specializes in pediatric and neuromuscular orthopedics. He is strongly committed to extending comprehensive orthopedic services to all children and those affected by neuromuscular disorders in Delaware. He also serves a critical need for adult transitional services for those with pediatric neuromuscular disorders that are no longer eligible to receive care from pediatric providers as they age. These conditions are often diagnosed at birth and require specialized care and treatment.
Over the years Dr. Connor has treated a range of general orthopedic issues (i.e., sprains, to more complex sports-related injuries) in children and completed many surgeries.
Dr. Connor has active clinical and academic research interests in children’s health and the orthopedic treatment of cerebral palsy and other neuromuscular disorders.
