Pediatric Neurosurgery
Make an Appointment
Our team of dedicated access representatives is here to help you make an appointment with the specialists that you need.
In 2020, Columbia University Neurological Surgery's Pediatric Division, directed by Dr. Neil Feldstein, merged with Weill Cornell Pediatric Neurosurgery, directed by Dr. Mark M. Souweidane. Dr. Feldstein now co-directs the combined program with Dr. Souweidane, and the joint NYP Pediatric Neurosurgery program extends to all New York-Presbyterian campuses.
Our program's multidisciplinary approach ensures that each child is offered a treatment plan considering the disease and its lifetime implications. This perspective offers pediatric neurosurgery patients the best opportunity to enjoy a normal transition from child to adult. The Columbia/Weill Cornell comprehensive pediatric neurosurgery program is nationally recognized for its leadership.
If your child needs a procedure for a neurological condition, you want the very best care possible. You want answers to your questions. You want to explore every possible option to determine what is best for your child. You want a care team that specializes in caring for children and understands their unique needs.
