Surgical cases seen by pediatric surgeons are often quite different from those commonly seen by adult or general surgeons. Special training in pediatric surgery is important. For children requiring surgery, our board-certified surgeons are among the most highly trained and experienced in the region. Our specialists perform a wide range of surgeries, from routine ear, nose and throat procedures to complex spinal and trauma surgeries. Utilizing the latest technologies, such as the da Vinci Si (pronounced "ess eye") surgical system, our pediatric surgery specialists are able to offer advanced and precise surgical care to our young patients.
