What Makes Us Unique?

What is truly innovative about the approach the BCI takes is the speed with which experts from all areas of brain care can come together and put the full force of their training, technology, and intelligence to bear upon any particular child’s case.

Our system is designed so doctors and other specialists can quickly get to the heart of a problem – even the most rare – and identify the most effective treatment methods. Our top priority is to give families the confidence and comfort of knowing there is no better place in the world for them to be.
