Pediatric General Surgery

For more than 30 years, our experienced surgeons have dedicated their skills to pediatric healthcare. They proudly lead the surgical center at Bert Martin's Champions for Children Emergency Department & Trauma Center at Orlando Health Children's Arnold Palmer Hospital, the only pediatric Level One Trauma Center in Central Florida. Our surgeons also offer prenatal consultations to expectant mothers whose newborn baby will require surgical care after delivery, and support the surgical needs of premature babies cared for in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at Orlando Health Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women & Babies.

Specializing in over 40 areas, our team of board-certified surgeons offers the most effective surgical methods and technologies. We use minimally invasive procedures whenever possible.

Specializations include:

  • Neonatal surgery

  • Surgical oncology

  • Thoracic surgery

  • Minimally invasive techniques

  • Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for premature babies
