Dayna Phillips, MD, is a member of Summit Health'sPediatric Orthopedic Surgery team. Dr. Phillips sees children with a wide range of conditions, including fractures, neuromuscular conditions, and sports injuries as well as development and congenital abnormalities. While Dr. Phillips is passionate about all areas of pediatric orthopedics, she has special interest in developmental hip dysplasia, foot and ankle conditions, limb deformity and correction, and congenital talipes equinovarus (clubfoot). Dr. Phillips has always had an instinctive urge to help others. She is grateful for a career in medicine where she is able to not only help a patient but also anyone who is affected by that patients well-being. In my field, a straightforward treatment of a fracture may restore a basic function, but thanks to that treatment, a patient may be able to return to their favorite sport or walk a loved one down the aisle on their wedding day, she says. Dr. Phillips keeps the child at the center of her comprehensive care and ensures her patients feel in control when it comes to the development of their treatment plan. By involving my patients, I build a strong rapport, which makes doctors visits less scary and more fun. Dr. Phillips has several published works on topics, including clubfoot, acute traumatic thoracolumbar paraspinal compartment syndrome, total hip arthroplasty, and more. When not working with her patients, Dr. Phillips enjoys spending time with her family, especially her husband and daughter. She also enjoys traveling and volunteering on international medical trips.

A. Ylenia Giuffrida, MD is a member of Summit Healths Orthopedics and Sports Medicine team. Dr. Giuffrida is double board certified in both Orthopedic Surgery and Hand & Microsurgery. She is also registered in Musculoskeletal Sonography (RMSK). She has years of experience treating both adult and pediatric patients with a broad range of conditions, acute and chronic, from the elbow to the fingertips.Dr. Giuffrida places great emphasis on patient education and enjoys engaging patients by teaching them about their condition so they can collaborate on treatment decisions that best suit their desires and functional goals. Because of her special certification in Ultrasound imaging, she is able to image patients with certain conditions in real time and arrive at an immediate diagnosis so treatment can be rendered without delay. Ultrasound is also useful for performing minimally invasive office procedures such as trigger finger and other compartment releases, resulting in timely, safe, and cost-effective treatment of these common conditions.Dr. Giuffrida says, It's so important to introduce young girls to careers in science and technology, fields where they are underrepresented and can make a huge impact. She adds, Having often been the only woman in my engineering classes and orthopedic surgery training, I recognize the need to encourage and mentor girls who may be considering these fields. Dr. Giuffrida tries her best to mentor young women in their pursuit of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) careers. She gives talks at local elementary and high schools about STEM careers and supports the establishment of STEM teaching facilities and resources in these schools.Dr. Giuffrida is a member of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, the New Jersey Orthopaedic Society, the American Society for Surgery of the Hand, the New York Hand Society, and the Medical Society of New Jersey. She has also been a member of the prestigious AOA Honor Medical Society since her early medical education.When shes not treating patients, Dr. Giuffrida enjoys spending time with her family, skiing, biking, hiking, and swimming.
