Child-Centered Care

A child who needs surgery deserves the most advanced options available, delivered by compassionate experts. With decades of experience treating children, pediatric teams in the Sutter Health network support you and your family every step of the way.

Our surgery teams are led by fellowship-trained, board-certified doctors who specialize in children. Across the Sutter Health network, pediatric surgeons provide care in emergency, hospital and outpatient settings. Our surgical teams provide services that include:

  • Neonatal surgery
  • Microsurgery
  • Pediatric oncology surgery

Special Pediatric Needs

We offer many special services to meet the unique psychological and emotional needs of children. When hospitalization is necessary, pediatric child life specialists and clinical social workers ensure that children recovering from surgery still get to be kids. Our special programs include:

  • Pediatric playrooms with age-appropriate toys and activities
  • Education support for children who require longer hospitalizations
  • Music and art therapy
  • Dog therapy
