Working with your primary care team, our experienced team of pediatric surgeons will plan and perform the surgery right here in Kentucky Children's Hospital's state-of-the-art pediatric surgical facilities.

We know that a child's surgery can be difficult and scary for the entire family, so we work with a team of specialists including psychologists and therapists to make sure everything about your experience is as stress-free as possible. We have even prepared a Patient's Guide to Surgery to help patients and their families get ready for the surgery itself and the care their child will need after.
