As board-certified pediatric surgeons, we specialize in the surgical management of neonates, infants, children, and adolescents. We also help to counsel parents expecting a baby who may have been diagnosed before birth with a surgical problem. Pediatric surgeons are experienced in caring for the wide variety of surgical problems in neonates, infants, children and adolescents, ranging from hernias and appendicitis to cancer and serious congenital anomalies.

Our two-year fellowship training in pediatric surgery assures that you are referring your patients to the most highly qualified physician for their surgical care. We sincerely appreciate the opportunity to help you assist your patients in taking a critical step toward better health.

When we formed Pediatric Surgical Specialists of Orange County, we created specific tenets of practice to best serve our patients and their referring physicians. These include:

• prompt availability to referring physicians and their patients for patient consultations and procedures
• expert pediatric surgical care
• prompt follow-up communications with referring physicians and their families concerning patients’ surgical management and aftercare

With offices adjacent to Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) in Orange and CHOC at Mission, we are conveniently located for your patients and their families.

We welcome your phone calls and e-mails whether to help serve you better or simply to discuss a patient or problem.
