Pediatric Neurosciences Programs
The Team Approach To a Broad Continuum of Care
The Children’s Neurosciences program features a team of 16 pediatric neurologists (seven of whom are also epileptologists), four pediatric neurosurgeons, four pediatric neuro-oncologists, six pediatric neuroradiologists and eight pediatric neuropsychologists.
