Description of Services
We put the best minds together to uncover the mysteries of the brain.
|
A child’s curiosity knows no bounds. Kids are always making new discoveries, generating new ideas, and asking, “Why?” The neurologists, geneticists, and other specialists at the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC Brain Care Institute seek answers with equal enthusiasm and fervor.
We understand a parent’s need for answers and clarification. That’s why we offer so many areas of expertise — from experienced neuro-oncologists and geneticists, to neuro trauma and critical care physicians and experts in neuro imaging. Physicians in our internationally renowned Department of Pediatric Neurosurgery work collaboratively with our neurologists to deliver the best treatment possible — all backed by the kind of research and clinical programs that only one of the nation’s top pediatric teaching hospitals can offer.
In addition, the Brain Care Institute offers an extensive network of support resources that reach far beyond neurology. These pediatric specialty areas include:
- Audiology
- Behavioral Health
- Occupational Therapy
- Ophthalmology
- Orthopaedic Surgery
- Plastic Surgery
- Physical Therapy
