For a parent and child, there is no such thing as routine surgery. Children need the special care of surgeons and anesthesiologists who thoroughly understand their needs and who have the special training required to meet those needs. At the Children's Center, our team of pediatric surgeons and pediatric anesthesiologists provide traditional, endoscopic and laparoscopic surgery to treat conditions that include:

• Hernias


• Appendectomies


• Correction of congenital defects


• Reconstructive urologic surgery


• Benign and malignant tumor surgery

• Joy Graf, M.D.


• Stephen Greenholz, M.D.


• Clifford Marr, M.D.


• Robert Gates, M.D.


• Lisa Abramson, M.D.


In addition, specialized pediatric surgery is provided through our teams of pediatric cardiovascular surgeons, pediatric neurosurgeons, orthopedic and plastic surgeons.

If your child is undergoing care at the Children's Center, you can help make it as easy as possible by preparing him or her for the experience. Please visit the pages on:
