Pediatric Surgeons diagnosis and manage surgical diseases in neonates, infants, children and adolescents. Pediatric Surgeons have received special training (2 years) in congenital and acquired pediatric surgical problems after completing a general surgery residency of 5-7 years.
At St.Vincent Children’s Hospital, board certified Pediatric Surgeons are available 24 hours a day to meet your child’s special surgical needs.
