"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."

Patient Testimonials
-
Dr. Antoinette Lindberg is very kind and compassionate! She speaks at a level that non clinical people can understand and she is personable in a professional way.
-
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.
