Pediatric Surgery
Multidisciplinary Surgical Care for Infants, Children & Teens
Operating on a child requires special training, skills and the utmost compassion. At Hackensack Meridian Children’s Health, our board-certified pediatric surgeons know kids. They use techniques and tools designed for little bodies that are still growing, as well as minimally invasive options to promote less pain and faster recovery.
