Meet Sheryl Handler-Matasar, MD

Of all the medical specialties, orthopedic surgery is arguably the most physically demanding. Pushing bones back into place requires brute force, while long surgery sessions demand stamina – which may explain why orthopedics is one of the few medical specialties still male-dominated.

Today only 4% of board-certified orthopedic surgeons are women. Dr. Sheryl Handler at Akron Children’s is among that select group.
