Our Pediatric Neurosurgery Center is renowned for delivering high-quality, compassionate care to children of all ages. Our board-certified, fellowship-trained pediatric neurosurgeons have worked at the country’s leading programs and treat the full range of pediatric neurosurgical disorders. These include hydrocephalus, complex pediatric brain and spine tumors, craniofacial disorders, craniosynostosis, epilepsy, spinal deformity and sports-related head injuries. Our program is nationally ranked for pediatric neurosurgery and neurology.

We deliver innovative neurosurgical care

Our advanced treatments include the latest minimally invasive techniques, such as endoscopic repair for craniosynostosis and minimally invasive treatment of brain tumors. These procedures help your child recover with less time in the hospital and minimal scarring and pain.

Our center’s medical director, Dr. Tim Vogel, recently performed the first known successful procedure on an infant with exencephaly, a rare condition in which part of the brain is outside the skull.  The child is the first to survive with the condition, and his story has received national coverage in The Philadelphia Inquirer, CNN, People and many other news outlets.

Our extensive research programs have been supported by private institutions, leading medical institutions, and government granting agencies including the National Institutes of Health, NJ’s Center for Discovery and Innovation, and the New York Genome Center. Dr Vogel is a widely published author, researcher, presenter and patent holder. 

We offer a family-centered, personalized approach

We understand that having a child with a neurosurgical condition can be very difficult for families. Our goal is to offer you support and guidance throughout every step of your child’s evaluation and care. We strive to make your experience as easy as possible and develop a personalized care plan that takes your child’s physical, emotional and social needs into account. Our pledge is to always keep you informed and minimize the number of visits as much as possible.
