We use the latest testing and imagery to identify and diagnose your child. Our experts at the Stys Institute include specialists and experts from the biggest names in Children’s healthcare. Our priority is to provide family-centered care for your child from initial diagnosis through treatment and recovery.
Not all conditions require surgery, but when they do, you can be confident knowing that Wolfson Children’s is a national leader in both minimally invasive and highly complex neurological surgeries. Our state-of-the-art operating rooms are specially equipped to bring MRI to the patient during surgery. This allows surgeons to use the sophisticated imaging equipment during procedures to precisely guide and verify intricate repairs, all leading to better outcomes.
The Stys Neuroscience Institute at Wolfson Children’s welcomes your request for a consultation on any pediatric neurological condition. A second opinion can provide a different perspective and new treatment options to consider. Plus, having a second doctor agree with your first diagnosis or finding something that was missed the first time can provide peace of mind when faced with a number of treatment options.
