Dr. Benjamin Gundlach is a pediatric hand and upper extremity surgeon. Originally from the Midwest, Dr. Gundlach grew up in Wisconsin, where he attended both undergraduate and medical school. While in medical school he was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha honors society. Following Orthopedic Surgery residency at the University of Michigan, he spent three years in Philadelphia completing fellowships in hand, pediatric hand, and orthoplastic limb salvage and microsurgery prior to joining Boston Children's Hospital.
Dr. Gundlach hopes to build upon the storied history of pediatric upper extremity care at Boston Children's Hospital. He has a special interest in microvascular tissue transfer for limb salvage and reconstruction, including: functional muscle transfer, toe and toe-joint transfer, and vascularized bone transfer for conditions where bones have not healed (pseudoarthrosis or non-union), or have lost their blood supply (avascular necrosis).
For many families, visiting our clinic may be one of the most stressful days of their life. Having children myself, I appreciate the stress and worry having an ill or injured child can have on a family. My goal for any visit is to address these concerns and make sure both children and adults leave clinic with a full understanding of what is going on, and what their treatment options are.
