"Whether I am treating a child or adolescent with a broken bone or a bone tumor, my goal is to get kids back to "just being a kid" and teens back to "just being a teen." Pediatric orthopaedics is different from adult orthopaedics and musculoskeletal issues affect young patients in a different way. I want patients and families to feel like we are treating a functioning child or teen, not just something we see on an x-ray or scan."

Dr. Antoinette Lindberg is a Seattle-area native who attended the University of Washington before attending medical school at Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons in New York. She completed her orthopaedics residency at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles prior to returning to Seattle to complete a dual-fellowship at the University of Washington/Seattle Childrens Hospital in Pediatric Orthopaedics and Musculoskeletal Oncology. She subsequently joined the Seattle Childrens Orthopaedics department as faculty and specializes in treating bone & soft-tissue tumors, pediatric fractures, as well as general pediatric orthopaedic issues. Her research interests include treatment of benign and malignant musculoskeletal tumors in children, pediatric fracture management, specialty-care access, and outcome measures. During her "non-doctor" time, she enjoys being mom to her three young children.

I would like to highly recommend Dr Antoinette Lindberg, she is the most compassionate and wonderful physician. My daughter was diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma at age 11 and it was a very stressful and overwhelming year of treatment including surgeries and chemotherapy. Dr Lindberg was always a ray of sunshine for my daughter and she still keeps in touch with her. My daughter is now a junior at UCLA and is thriving. Dr Lindberg was able to save my daughter's leg and she has even been able to participate in all her favorite sports and activities. The entire oncology and orthopedic team for bone tumors is exceptional and even though it was a difficult time all of the people at Children's Hospital made us feel safe and hopeful. We look back fondly and miss seeing everyone.

Dr Lindberg was absolutely phenomenal. We flew from Alaska to remove my sons Osteochindroma and did a wonderful job removing it and taking care of him and getting to go into the OR while they put him out was a good experience. I def would recommend her for any future needs of myself or anyone.
-
Dr Lindberg is amazing. My son had Ewing’s Sarcoma in his right femur. She talked to my child and let him be involved with the decisions. Where as others talked to me and my husband as if my child wasn’t there. She always shows compassion and listened to my child’s concerns and his wants. If it was In her power to accommodate his wishes she would. She goes above and beyond. I can’t say enough about what a wonderful doctor/ surgeon she is.
-
Our son had a non-ossifying fibroma of about 3 1/2 inches located above his ankle. Dr. Lindberg is so capable, explaining in depth the surgery that she would be performing to repair it. We had no complications, his bone healed beautifully. We have definitely recommended her to friends who find themselves needing a Dr. at the top of their field.

Dr. Lindberg's quote says it all. She keeps Teens having fun living their life. Approximately 3-4 years ago my daughter (then12) in Jr High had a bad skateboard accident resulting in a severely broken ankle/leg, very complicated. After the natural stages of healing over the first 6-12 mos(giving PT credit as well!), this past year my daughter(now 16) participated in her 3rd year of competitive Tennis since the accident, the last 2 on varsity, I sincerely believe she was able to compete and have an active life due to the work the Dr Lindberg did. 6 years earlier she had the other ankle severely broken, Dr Dales performed the surgery and also did a remarkable job.He was not available at the time of the 2nd accident, so we were referred to Dr Lindberg. Dr Lindberg's care, manner and surgical expertise remains a highlight in both my daughters life and mine as a parent. Due to these two surgical experiences, my daughter may end up a Pediatric surgeon...time will tell. Thank you again Dr Lindberg(and Dr Dales)!

Dr. Lindberg was amazing with my daughter. My 17 year old was diagnosed with 2 tumors in her knee. She was terrified by the word "tumor" Dr. Lindberg was able to speak to her on her level and help her understand what was going on. Surgery was a success. I highly recommend Dr. Lindberg not only for her abilities as a surgeon but for her compassion.
