Daily News | Doctor known for treating kids with dwarfism at Nemours retires and passes baton to his son
W. G. Stuart Mackenzie, an orthopedic surgeon at Nemours Children's Health, examines 15-year-old patient Izabella "Bella" Bockius on Feb. 6, 2023.Fifteen-year-old Izabella “Bella” Bockius said she’s “never not known” William G. Mackenzie, the orthopedic surgeon from Nemours Children’s Hospital who has cared for her since she was 3 months old.
Earlier this month, Mackenzie, 70, retired from Nemours, where he’s provided highly specialized care to children since 1986. Mackenzie said he only knew of one other surgeon like him in the United States.That is, until recently. Because there are so few specialists trained to care for people with dwarfism, families routinely travel hundreds of miles to Mackenzie’s Wilmington-based clinic. They come from around the country, including Idaho, Wisconsin and Louisiana. One family cooked crawfish étouffée, a Cajun dish, for the entire skeletal dysplasia team.
“I spent a lot of early mornings at the hospital on rounds when I was growing up,” Stuart Mackenzie recalled. “And I realized in myself that it was something that I would find, very, very fulfilling.” When a reporter asked Stuart Mackenzie if he’s worried about filling his dad’s shoes, the older Mackenzie jokingly piped up, “Oh, no one can do that.”
