Recognized as a Top 50 Neurology and Neurosurgery Program by U.S. News & World Report 2023-2024
Our team understands that children are not just miniature adults. They have their own unique physiology and problems. Pediatric neurosurgery is exclusively practiced by approximately 300 surgeons in the United States. Board certification in pediatric neurosurgery requires additional training and certification above that required for certification in general neurosurgery (adult and pediatric). We partner closely with neurology, neuro-oncology, neuropsychology hematology and radiology.
The Pediatric Neurosurgery Program at Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital in St. Petersburg, Florida, is one of the largest in the Southeast and provides comprehensive pediatric neurosurgery care for patients throughout Florida, the United States and the world. Our inpatient Surgical Neuroscience Unit has 28 individual patient rooms. For enhanced continuity of care and follow-up, we see patients in our main facility and also at Johns Hopkins All Children's Outpatient Care locations in East Lake, Fort Myers, Tampa, Sarasota and Lakeland.
We specialize in the surgical treatment of a wide range of problems including:
- Brain and spinal cord tumors
- Chiari malformations
- Congenital abnormalities of the nervous system
- Craniosynostosis and other craniofacial abnormalities
