The Pediatric Neuroscience Service offers integrated medical and surgical care from the neonatal period through adolescence. Subspecialty clinics (epilepsy, movement, neuromuscular, neurogenetic) work alongside neuro-oncology, endocrinology, cardiology, and rehabilitation to deliver precise diagnostics, minimally invasive treatments, and comprehensive developmental follow-up.
