Neurology

When your child has a brain or spine condition, they need doctors who are experienced in providing specialized care for children with these conditions. Our pediatric neurologists and neurosurgeon at Studer Family Children’s Hospital at Ascension Sacred Heart in Northwest Florida have expertise in diagnosing and treating children with neurologic conditions:

• Brain and spine tumors
• Congenital anomalies of the brain, skull, and spine
• Epilepsy and seizures
• Headaches
• Hydrocephalus (buildup of fluid around the brain)
• Multiple sclerosis (MS)
• Spina bifida
• Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
• Other neurological conditions

At Studer Family Children’s Hospital, we deliver a range of therapeutic and surgical care – from medication management to neurosurgery.

Studer Family Children’s Hospital is home to the region’s only pediatric neurosurgeon, Gus Perez, MD. Your child’s care team may also include pediatric neurologists, surgeons, neuro-oncologists, and other pediatric specialists.

Whenever possible, we use minimally invasive surgical techniques, which use small incisions and may help shorten your child’s recovery. After surgery, your child’s care team connects your family with supportive care, including pediatric rehabilitation. Find out more about neurosurgery at Studer Family Children’s Hospital.

If your child is experiencing a life-threatening emergency, go directly to the ER or call 911.
