Our pediatric surgeons are among the most experienced in
New Jersey. Each year, we perform thousands of pediatric
surgical procedures, including life-saving emergency surgeries
and routine procedures on an inpatient and outpatient basis.
Our pediatric surgeons are board certified in general as
well as pediatric surgery.
To relieve anxieties or fears about
surgery, our Pediatric Preoperative Programs, led by Child
Life Specialists, feature orientation tours, interactive
presentations, medical play, and opportunities for children
to ask questions.
