About us

Chiari malformation can cause balance problems, trouble with coordination, headaches, and other symptoms. Our team is committed to working with you and your child, helping you understand the condition and all possible treatment options. We provide evaluations, individualized treatment plans, and ongoing support to ensure the best possible outcomes.

What sets us apart

World-renowned team

We are proud to have some of the top specialists in the field as part of our team. Whether this is the initial diagnosis or a case review for a second opinion, you can rest assured knowing that you are getting the best treatment available. By working closely with pediatric orthopedics, we can arrange an evaluation with a spine specialist in cases where scoliosis is a part of the symptoms.

Research

Boosting excellent outcomes, our program is committed to research and evidence-based care. We participate in studies examining Chiari malformation and publish studies and clinical trial results.
