Neurosurgery

Our pediatric neurosurgeons are world-renowned for the evaluation and treatment of brain disorders and diseases, from the most prevalent to the very rare. While setting the highest standards, we provide the most compassionate care.

We understand the importance of good communication, and make sure we inform, support, and involve our patients’ families every step of the way.

Our neurosurgeons are affiliated with Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital, the largest children’s hospital in the tristate area, and one of the best in the nation, according to US News and World Report. We are part of Columbia University Medical Center, an internationally known institution with state-of-the-art resources, giving your child instant access to top physicians in every discipline.

Most important, our pediatric neurosurgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses, and entire team have been trained to deal with children taking into account their unique anatomical, developmental, and emotional needs.

Close collaboration with the Department of Neurosurgery at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center also allows us to draw on experts in adult neurosurgery, providing seamless care for our growing patients.
