Meet Our Team

Neurosurgery

Our doctors diagnose and treat infants, children, and teens with the full range of disorders that affect the brain, spinal cord, and nervous system, including: craniofacial disorders, cerebral palsy and spasticity (including CP signs in babies), brain and spinal cord tumors, Chiari malformation (type 1), hydrocephalus, spinal cord malformations, spinal deformities, and vascular abnormalities.

Your Partner at Every Step

Our pediatric neurosurgeons can manage or treat most conditions without the need for surgery. If your child does require neurosurgery, we’ll be by your side every step of the way. All our neurosurgeons see patients at least twice a day while they’re in the hospital with us and can answer any questions you or your child may have during your stay. In addition, our experienced nurses and support staff members are available for any needs you may have.

Craniosynostosis Experts

Craniosynostosis is a condition whereby one or more of the bony plates in a child’s skull fuse prematurely and impair normal cranial growth. This condition occurs in roughly one in 2,000 children, and is typically identified within the first few months of life. Left untreated, children with craniosynostosis will go on to have lifelong deformities of their head and, in severe cases, visual problems, headaches and vomiting.

Craniosynostosis is one of the many conditions our pediatric neurosurgeons treat at Connecticut Children's. Our multidisciplinary Craniofacial Clinic allows families to be seen by expert pediatric and surgical specialists from all craniofacial disciplines in a single location, providing comprehensive and convenient pre-and post-surgical care from birth to young adulthood.
