Advanced pediatric surgical care
When surgery is recommended as part of your child’s care plan, pediatric surgeons at Peyton Manning Children's Hospital - Indianapolis Pediatric General Surgery have the expertise to deliver advanced surgical care using some of the latest techniques. We start by listening to better understand your child and their health. Then, we work with you and your child’s referring doctor to create a surgical care plan that’s right for your child.
Your child’s care team takes the time to explain the procedure to you and your child. We also explain what to expect before surgery and how to care for your child after surgery. You can also sign up for an educational visit and tour several days before your child’s surgery, so you and your child can become familiar with the surroundings and know what to expect. To schedule a tour, call 317-338-3582.
