PEDIATRIC SURGERY
Equipped with a comprehensive team of pediatric surgeons, anesthesiologists,
radiologists, respiratory therapists, nurses, and more, the Pediatric Surgery
department at Children’s Hospital Colorado offers round-the-clock care for
every injury, emergency, and disease.
Our surgery team collaborates with all other specialties in the hospital
for seamless coordination of care, utilizing advanced, minimally invasive
methods. We continually push for better, more effective treatments and
techniques. Toward that end, some of our current research initiatives
explore gene therapy, wound healing physiology, and the diagnostic and
treatment possibilities of big medical data — just to name a few.
