Pediatric Surgery

When your child needs medical treatment, you want him or her to have the very best care available. So it stands to reason that if your child needs an operation, you will want to consult with a surgeon who is qualified and experienced in operating on children. Surgeons who specialize in general surgery often provide surgical care for children, and they are fully qualified to perform many operations on children. Pediatric surgeons complete two additional years of training in children's surgery to receive a special certification subspecialty in pediatric surgery.
