The Pediatric Neurosurgery Division at St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital focuses on researching and offering the best neurosurgical care to infants, children and adolescents. We do this by providing each patient with a team of experts that are highly specialized and experienced.

Our Board-certified pediatric neurosurgeons have extensive academic training and clinical experience in the care of children suffering from a full spectrum of neurological diseases. Rated as top pediatric neurosurgeons in the country by their colleagues, our physicians are able to utilize state-of-the-art medical and surgical techniques specifically designed for children to give the most advanced care.
