What Sets Us Apart
Experienced Team
By focusing solely on pediatrics, our surgeons and staff are experts at assessing the unique treatment needs of children and teenagers. We know how to explain procedures at a child-friendly level and help each child and the entire family feel comfortable going into surgery.
Pediatric Experts
Our pediatric surgeons, pediatric anesthesiologists and fetal care specialists are here to care for your child’s medical needs. We also have social workers, chaplains and child life specialists to assist with your child’s psychosocial, emotional and spiritual health. These professionals help reduce distress before and after procedures, helping to improve the overall hospital experience.
Minimally Invasive
We are the region’s leader in developing and performing innovative, minimally invasive pediatric surgery. Minimally invasive techniques such as using small cameras and instruments through tiny incisions (less than 5 mm) leads to faster recovery and healing times, less pain and lower rates of infection.
