Do You Need a Surgical Second Opinion?
We provide a second opinion for children diagnosed with any general pediatric neurosurgery condition, and for families who have been told that their child needs a neurosurgical procedure such as craniosynostosis, spina bifida, brachial plexus, etc.
Some children have already had surgery and are now experiencing new symptoms. In other cases, the family may want to know if their medication regimen is the best for them. We also see families who want to explore every option and seek the latest advancements in surgical and medical diagnosis and treatment for their child. These are all legitimate reasons to seek a second opinion.
To make an appointment or for more information about getting a second opinion from our Neurosurgery Experts, call 314.454.5437 or 800.678.5437, press 2.
