Pediatric Neurosurgery

If your child has a condition that requires neurosurgery, you want your son or daughter to receive the highest standard of care. 

Here at Fletcher Allen, infants, children, adolescents and young adults with neurological issues have access to a board certified, fellowship-trained pediatric neurosurgeon -- this is the highest, most specialized level of training available in this area.

In addition, you're child will be treated in a state of the art facility by a team of skilled providers who are committed to putting your family at the center of care.

Team Approach

Given the complex nature of many pediatric neurosurgical conditions, your child's evaluation and treatment will involve a team of specialists. Our pediatric neurosurgeon works closely with pediatric neurologists and neuroradiologists in order to provide the most comprehensive care.

Receiving care at a university hospital also means you have immediate access to other pediatric subspecialists when necessary, such as oncologists, endocrinologists and orthopedists.

In short, there is no need to travel great distances to receive the best care -- it's available right here in Vermont.
