Maya Pring, M.D.

Bio

Dr. Maya Pring currently serves as Chief of Staff and Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgeon at Rady Children's Hospital, Clinical Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at the University of California San Diego, and Affiliate Faculty of the Center for Compassionate Communication at the T. Denny Sanford Institute for Empathy and Compassion. She is board-certified in Orthopaedic Surgery, Sports Medicine, and Clinical Informatics, with recognized clinical expertise in pediatric sports medicine, fracture care, hip preservation, limb deformity, metabolic bone disease, and complex congenital and neuromuscular conditions. She is a National educator and American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery Examiner, with a distinguished record of global health service, multidisciplinary leadership, and contributions to pediatric musculoskeletal research.

After earning her degree in zoology with a certificate in genetics from Duke University, Dr. Pring went back to her home state to study medicine at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center while teaching horseback riding lessons, training, and breeding horses.

She completed her internship and residency at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, followed by a Pediatric Orthopedic Surgery Fellowship at Rady Children's Hospital. She was then honored to complete the Ruth Jackson International Traveling Fellowship in Switzerland and Germany, studying different techniques in hip surgery. She has been in practice at Rady Children's Hospital since 2003.

In addition to her clinical practice, Dr. Pring has co-authored two editions of the textbook "Rang's Children's Fractures" and has published multiple chapters, journal articles and online training videos investigating the care of pediatric orthopedic disorders and the training of orthopedic residents. She has been invited to present her work at many national and international meetings.

She is a strong advocate for women and strives to bring more diversity into the field of surgery. She also loves to participate in medical mission trips and international teaching projects to improve musculoskeletal health and knowledge worldwide.

In her free time, Dr. Pring enjoys gardening, traveling, scuba diving and paddleboarding with her golden retriever.
