  • Cancer Center

    When diagnosed with a tumor in the head and neck, your little one needs big expertise. Our Cancer Center at Wolfson Children’s is among the best programs in the country.

    Children with airway obstruction, from enlarged tonsils or other blockages of the nasal passage, can develop obstructive sleep apnea. This can result in daytime sleepiness and other complications. Our board-certified sleep medicine specialists expertly diagnose the cause so a treatment plan can be coordinated.
