Pediatric Neurological and Neurosurgical Care
Expert pediatric neurology and neurosurgery care
Our pediatric neurologists and neurosurgeons care for children with neurologic conditions ranging from common to rare and complex. Care is tailored to each child’s diagnosis, with specialists who focus on specific conditions so families are matched with the expertise their child needs.
We use a multidisciplinary approach, bringing together experts in nutrition, psychology, child psychiatry, orthopedics, and speech, occupational, and physical therapy to support the whole child and family.

Our approach to pediatric neurologic care
Our pediatric epilepsy surgery program offers the full spectrum of treatments for children with seizures that do not respond to medication. Options range from minimally invasive approaches—including laser ablation (LITT), stereo-EEG monitoring, and responsive neurostimulation (RNS)—to open resection, callosotomy, and hemispherotomy.
Care is coordinated through a dedicated weekly multidisciplinary epilepsy conference, ensuring each child’s plan is reviewed by a team of neurologists, neurosurgeons, and specialists.
We’re home to one of the few proton therapy centers in the country providing this advanced radiation treatment to children. Proton therapy allows us to precisely target tumors, minimizing potential damage to nearby healthy tissues.
Your child may get proton therapy:
- Before surgery, to shrink tumors and make them less risky to remove.
- After surgery to destroy lingering cancer cells.
- Instead of surgery, if a tumor’s location makes it too risky to remove.
We provide specialized care for newborns with neurologic complications:
- Prenatal consultation for known or suspected neurological concerns Therapeutic hypothermia for infants who experience oxygen deprivation at birth
- Evaluation and management of brain injury in premature infants
- Monitoring of brain activity and blood flow to detect seizures or changes in circulation
- Diagnosis and treatment of neonatal seizures
- Evaluation and management of neonatal stroke
- Care in neonatal intensive care units for newborns with neurological or neuromuscular conditions
- Coordination of physical, occupational, and feeding therapies for infants at risk of brain injury
