Pediatric Surgery
Board certified pediatric surgeons from the University of Michigan Section of Pediatric Surgery at C.S. Mott Children's Hospital perform general and noncardiac thoracic surgeries at Sparrow Hospital.
We are dedicated to providing your child and family with the best possible care. In doing so, we follow a very simple rule: we treat each individual as we would a member of our own family. We understand that you may have questions and concerns about your child's surgery and care, and therefore we encourage you to contact us.
What is a Pediatric Surgeon?
Pediatric surgeons specialize in the surgical care of children. We are surgeons who, by training, are oriented toward working with children and understanding their special needs. In addition to completing training and achieving board certification in general surgery, we complete additional years of training exclusively in pediatric surgery. We then receive special certification in the subspecialty of pediatric surgery.
What to Expect During a Visit
In most cases, a patient's first visit to our office involves meeting with the surgeon and reviewing the child's medical history.

After an examination, the surgeon will then explain his recommendations. If surgery is indicated, the surgeon or one of the surgical nurses will outline when it should be performed and what to expect following surgery. If necessary, our nurse will schedule any tests that need to be performed prior to the surgery.
Following surgery, the surgeon will visit the child and family and discuss follow up care. We ask that you call the office after surgery to schedule your follow up visit.
If you are unable to keep your appointment, we appreciate a 24-hour notice for rescheduling.
It is our goal to see patients at their scheduled time, however, occasionally emergencies occur and delays are unavoidable. We appreciate your understanding if this occurs during your visit.
