Pediatric neurosurgery

Atlantic Health provides compassionate, specialized, pediatric neurosurgical care for infants, children and adolescents with a wide range of neurological conditions.

We are home to a craniofacial center that cares for kids with congenital or acquired craniofacial conditions. Our goal is to improve both the health and appearance of our patients, while helping their families through emotional support and education.

Part of Valerie Fund Children’s Center at Atlantic Health, our pediatric brain and spine tumor center provides state-of-the-art, individualized care to children and adolescents with tumors of the brain, spine or peripheral nervous system.

We offer comprehensive care to children with spasticity and gait, or walking disorders, such as those with cerebral palsy, dystonia and scoliosis. Our pediatric neurosurgeons are part of a multidisciplinary team that helps these patients maximize their mobility and functional independence.

“
I know the hospital, the doctors and the staff; it’s a perfect fit. I trust them with the most precious thing in my life."- Lisa Pignataro, Mother of pediatric neurosurgery patient at Goryeb Children’s Hospital
