At the Golisano Children’s Hospital we understand that “your
child needs surgery” may be some of the most frightening
words a parent ever hears. Here, we know that when it comes to
surgery, children are not little adults but, need gentle and
special care. The pediatric surgery team provides high-quality,
compassionate and family-centered care for infants, children
and adolescents. We also help counsel parents who are expecting
a baby who has been diagnosed, before birth, with a birth defect
that may require surgery. In addition, we offer a Pediatric
Regional Burn and Trauma Center. Pediatric surgeries now take place in the Mildred Levine Pediatric Surgical Suite, our new facility designed with children's needs and comfort in mind.
