The neurosurgery team is comprised of senior practitioners – authors of leading medical texts and articles – who continuously set the standard in surgical intervention and who routinely tackle complex cases. Hundreds of procedures are performed every year, with excellent outcomes. Children’s neurosurgeons define the standard of care by integrating into all procedures advanced neuro-imaging and neurophysiological monitoring. Our neurosurgeons routinely use minimally-invasive strategies when appropriate. Children’s boasts state-of-the art, technically-advanced, neuro newborn intensive care and neuro pediatric intensive care rooms. Our facilities also feature individual, post-surgery care suites with all amenities.
