We rank among the best children's hospitals in the country in pediatric neurology and neurosurgery, according to U.S. News & World Report. We're committed to providing your child with the latest and most in-depth care possible for whatever neurological disease or disorder they face. We take a compassionate, family-centered approach to care to ensure your child's unique neurologic and developmental needs are met.
We provide surgical treatment for diseases affecting the brain, spinal cord and nerves in infants, children, teens and young adults. This includes procedures for intractable epilepsy, brain and spine tumors, trauma involving the central nervous system, congenital brain and spine malformations, and cerebrovascular anomalies.
In addition to our specialized skill and training, we use the most advanced technology to ensure the safest and highest quality care, including ROSA, a robotic assistant that allows us to perform procedures more quickly, and with greater accuracy. ROSA also aids in minimally invasive implantation of electrodes into the brain to provide in-depth monitoring of electrical activity in children with seizures.
Children diagnosed with brain or spinal cord injuries and diseases may also require care for widespread developmental effects. That's why we work closely with pediatric neurologists, pediatric epileptologists, neuropsychologists, physiatrists and developmental and behavioral pediatricians to offer the long and short-term care needed to provide the best possible outcome for your child.
