The physicians in Pediatric Surgery are specially trained in the surgical care of infants and children. We provide consultation and comprehensive treatment of operative and non-operative pediatric surgical problems. This includes common problems such as hernias, hydroceles, appendicitis, pyloric stenosis, intussuception, gastro-esophageal reflux, "lumps and bumps," and soft tissue infections. Uncommon problems include congenital anomalies and tumors of the head, neck, chest, abdomen and pelvis. We perform a broad range of general surgical interventions including minor office procedures, inpatient, and outpatient procedures.

We treat newborns, infants, toddlers, children and young adults.
