Why Monroe Carell
- Dedicated surgical team
You trust us with your child’s care. That’s something we don’t take lightly. Your child's dedicated pediatric surgeon and surgical care team will perform the procedure. This ensures care continuity and quality for your child.
- Child-centered expertise
Children’s surgery is not the same as adult surgery. As such, your child deserves a dedicated pediatric team. Every procedure is staffed with a fellowship-trained, board-certified pediatric anesthesiologist with years of experience providing anesthesia care exclusively for children.
- Personalized care plans
Our mission is to provide family-centered care. This ensures your voice and decisions are an integral part of your child’s care plan. Together, with your child’s surgeon, we develop a personalized care plan that maximizes your child’s comfort and safety every step of the way, from the initial planning stages to their time in the recovery room and through their follow-up care at home.
