Specialties & Conditions Neurology
The Division of Pediatric Neurology sees one in three children hospitalized at Lurie Children's. In fact, more families bring children with neurologic conditions to us for care or for second opinions than to any other single hospital in the state.
A multidisciplinary team of experienced pediatric neurologists, advanced practice providers and nurses will ensure your child gets the best care available. This team approach makes it easier for you to see every specialist your child needs under one roof and often in the same visit. We have the knowledgeable care providers, kid-friendly facility and state-of-the-art technology needed to achieve the best possible treatment results (outcomes) for sick children. We believe in family-centered care, which means we involve the whole family in a patient’s treatment plan. From bring family members into care plan meetings, to providing support and distraction to a patient’s siblings, we do our best to help fit our care within your lifestyle.
Our entire staff is dedicated to evaluating and treating infants, children and teens. The team includes:
