From Pre-Natal to Complex Surgeries

At the Maimonides Infants & Children’s Hospital, we offer the full spectrum of pediatric general surgeries.  We are dedicated to managing the treatment of your child – even before they are born.  We are available for everything from prenatal consultations to the most complex surgeries, to follow-up care once your child has returned home.  We offer the latest technology, and minimally invasive procedures to reduce risk and keep your child as comfortable as possible.
 
The Maimonides Infants and Children’s Hospital provides outstanding pediatric general surgery.  Our excellent board-certified physicians, surgeons, nurses, nurse practitioners, physical therapists, and specially trained pediatric anesthesiologists, are all highly skilled and represent the best in medical excellence.  Our surgery team collaborates with the leaders of all applicable divisions to give children the most comprehensive care possible.  We are committed to family-centered care, and parents are always encouraged to stay overnight if a child is required to remain in the hospital.  In order to reduce the child’s anxiety, we evaluate and deliver both inpatient and outpatient care that is child-friendly, in an environment created just for them. We will always treat your child with compassion.
