Pediatric Surgery

Children are not just little adults. Our specially trained pediatric team knows that the surgical needs seen by pediatric surgeons are often quite different from those commonly seen by adult or general surgeons.

If your child has an illness, injury or disease which requires surgery, a pediatric surgeon has the experience and qualifications to treat your child. We know that children cannot always answer medical questions, and are not always able to be patient and helpful during a medical examination. Pediatric surgeons know how to examine and treat children in a way that makes them relaxed and cooperative. In addition, pediatric surgeons use equipment and facilities specifically designed for children.

The De George Pediatric Unit features two, state-of-the-art pediatric surgery suites and a pediatric anesthesiologist.
