When your child’s life and health are in our hands for any type of surgical care, we are dedicated to following through with focused care from the initial introduction until the day you go home. We believe that children and families feel less anxiety and that outcomes are better overall when there’s a close relationship among the patient, family, and medical team. You can feel comfortable knowing the surgeon who cares for your child during surgery will be the same one following up, monitoring progress, and standing by to oversee care for every detail, small or large, for as long as your child is in our care.
