Department Name

All Pediatric Surgeons have taken subspecialty fellowship training to specifically care for infants and children with surgical problems. The American Board of Surgery has a special certification for surgeons who have undertaken this extra training.
Pediatric Surgeons believe that all infants and children with surgical disorders should be cared for by surgeons trained specifically to treat them.

The University of Florida Division of Pediatric Surgery is the tertiary referral center for all of Florida and the surrounding states. In addition, we are also happy to see international patients.
