Pediatric Neurosciences Programs

The Team Approach To a Broad Continuum of Care

The Children’s Neurosciences program features a team of 17 pediatric neurologists, five pediatric neurosurgeons, two pediatric neuroradiologists and seven pediatric neuropsychologists. Each pediatric professional specializes in a particular discipline.

This approach enables us to provide a broad continuum of care to our patients. Our multidisciplinary team can treat patients with a variety congenital and acquired neurological conditions at the same location, such as neuro spine, head trauma, brain tumor and epilepsy.

You can make a difference in the life of a child by supporting the Children's Neurosciences program.
