Choosing Cook Children's for pediatric plastic surgery

Every child is different, so details matter. The latest evidence informs our methods, and your child's needs guide when and how we do things. We look at every aspect of their growth, development and circumstances to decide on the right care, resources and support. We then make individualized decisions that lead to the best outcome possible. When you choose our program, you can expect:

Dedicated surgeons: Talented surgeons whose sole focus is children and plastic surgery lead our team. They not only oversee your child's care, they're at their bedside, too. Their consistent presence helps you and your child feel more comfortable during care. Learn more about our Pediatric Plastic Surgery team.
Additional expertise: You'll work with nurses certified in wound care if that's what your child needs. We also partner with other top specialists to help with your specific situation. For example, our anesthesiologists have extra training in pediatric care and only work with children. After surgery, experienced teams in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) help with recovery.
Innovative treatments: Our team uses the latest, most effective treatments. Sometimes we even help develop them. For some surgeries, we use virtual constructions and custom-printed 3D models to help us plan. These guides help us do surgeries that weren't possible before. They also improve care for your child.
True partnership: As your child's caregiver, you're one of the most important team members. No one knows your child's concerns, daily life, preferences and dreams better. We carefully listen to you and your child at every step. We also take the time to discuss what to expect, including the "whys" of your child's plan. We also give you the tools, knowledge and confidence to care for your child at home.
