"Treating children requires exacting attention to the tiniest details."

Golisano Children's Hospital Has Attracted Some of the Nation's Top Pediatric Surgeons and an Expert Surgical Support Team

A decision by Golisano Children's Hospital to become a renowned center for pediatric surgery has brought exceptional surgeons to Rochester, New York. Today, Golisano Children's Hospital has the only two board-certified pediatric surgeons in the greater Rochester area and surrounding counties; the only pediatric cardiac surgeon in central New York; a pediatric neurosurgeon; two pediatric orthopedists; a pediatric plastic surgeon, specializing in craniofacial anomalies; three pediatric urologists; four otolaryngologists; and one pediatric burn surgeon, all supported by an expert team of pediatric anesthesiologists, intensivists, and nurses. The excellence of the hospital's surgical program attracts referrals throughout the region and from states along the Eastern Seaboard.
