- Pediatric surgery
One team that puts your child at the center
No single provider has all the answers. That’s why your child’s surgeon is part of a team that also includes anesthesiologists, radiologists, gastroenterologists, nurses, dietitians, social workers, and child life specialists. Together, we design a plan that is as safe and effective as possible, and always tailored to your child’s unique needs.
Treatment may include:
- Laparoscopic or thoracoscopic (minimally invasive) surgery
- Traditional open surgery when necessary
- Specialized imaging and diagnostics
- Ongoing follow-up in clinic
Specialized care, just for kids
Our surgeons treat the full spectrum of general surgical conditions in children. Whenever possible, we use minimally invasive approaches that shorten recovery and reduce discomfort, while still ensuring the safest outcome.
Conditions we commonly treat include:
- Hernias
- Appendicitis
- Gallbladder disease
- Thyroid and endocrine disorders
- Tumors and cysts
- Congenital conditions like esophageal or abdominal wall defects
- Colorectal conditions
- Pulmonary Hypoplasia
- Esophageal Airway conditions
- Trauma
- Fetal care
For children with more complex needs, we work closely with specialty programs across the hospital—trauma, colorectal, esophageal airway, fetal, and others—to create care that addresses the whole picture.
