About Gleeson Rebello, MD, MBBS
Dr. Gleeson Rebello specializes in treating children and young adults with complex hip, foot and neuromuscular disorders and common disorders in pediatric orthopedics.
Dr. Gleeson Rebello earned his MBBS from Goa Medical College in Goa, India and completed his residency in Orthopaedic Surgery there as well. Dr. Rebello then completed a Pediatric Orthopaedic Fellowship with Professor Benjamin Joseph. He was awarded the Peabody Research Fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital and subsequently completed a Pediatric Orthopaedics Fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital and a Hip Preservation Fellowship at Children's Hospital Boston.
Dr. Rebello is very active in teaching medical students and residents at Harvard Medical School.
Dr. Rebello has written two children's books: DareBone's Big Break, about a boy who breaks his elbow. The book is meant to help children and their parents understand what happens when a child breaks a bone and everything that goes into fixing the broken bone. The book is written in easy-to-understand rhymes, but the information is very technical and informative. The second book is Joe Some-More: The Boy Who Lost a Lot and Won Big, a motivational tale using a combination of science, sensitivity and humor about a little boy who fights sugar addiction and overcomes obesity, one of the preeminent problems of our time. Dr. Rebello also started a hospital basement band called The Fever Breakers to sing about social issues.
Recently, Dr. Rebello wrote a piece on Medium.com called I Decided I Was Not Going to Get Offended about promoting racial harmony.
