Our pediatric surgeons have advanced training in general and thoracic surgery to treat a wide range of conditions on children from newborns to teens. Our operative expertise includes abdominal surgery, head and neck surgery, thoracic (chest) surgery, hernia repair, neonatal/congenital malformations, pediatric gynecology and trauma care.

  • Inguinal hernias, hydroceles
  • Umbilical hernias
  • Undescended testis
