Pediatricians are physicians who specialize in the medical care of children. At HSS, our team of pediatricians play an integral role in the perioperative care of pediatric patients undergoing surgery at HSS. Working side-by-side with our pediatric orthopedic surgeons, our pediatricians are involved in optimizing your child's health before and after surgery through pre-operative medical clearance, patient and family education, and post-operative care.

For more information about what to expect about your child's orthopedic surgery, please see our Family Guide to Pediatric Orthopedic Surgery.
