Dr. Fleissner is a board-certified pediatric orthopedic surgeon whose specialities include pediatric and adolescent sports medicine, sports injuries, scoliosis, clubfoot, and fractures.

When Dr. Fleissner isn’t seeing patients at Crystal Clinic Orthopaedic Center, he is looking for innovative ideas that will improve his treatments and results. “I am always looking for ways to improve and achieve better outcomes for my patients. Nothing that we do is ever perfect, so if we look at what we do critically and try to figure out how to do it better, sometimes we find answers that make a difference” he said. In February 2017, he became the first surgeon in the United States to commercially use the Reveille® Cartilage Processor to perform autologous chondrocyte implantation in a single-stage surgery, instead of the traditional 2-stage surgery.

Professionally, Dr. Fleissner can also be found on staff at Akron Children’s Hospital. It is ranked among the best children’s hospitals by U.S. News & World Report. To ensure families have convenient access to pediatric care, Akron Children’s Hospital offers 2 hospitals in northeast Ohio and more than 60 urgent, primary and specialty care locations.

He then went on to complete his internship and residency in orthopedic surgery at Summa Akron City Hospital in 1985 and 1989, respectively.
