Why Choose the Aerodigestive Center at Monroe Carell
- Collaborative care
Your child will see our team of specialists in one appointment and in one room. These specialists work together during the appointment, communicate with each other and share a single record to determine the best plan of care for your child. We also partner with your child's local pediatrician and subspecialty care team to support longterm management of their condition.
- Coordinated care
If your child needs further evaluation in the operating room, we use anesthesia only once and schedule procedures to be done at the same time. This helps our team to review your child’s tests together and compare results, and keeps your child from having to get anesthesia for separate procedures.
- Convenient care
Combining clinic visits, diagnostic procedures and surgeries offers your child higher quality care, less discomfort and less time away from home. By coordinating evaluations from our clinics, laboratories, radiologists and surgeons, we provide answers to difficult questions as quickly as possible.
Tests, Treatments and Services
We offer a full range of tests, treatments and services, including:
- Long segment colonic interposition for esophageal atresia
- Tracheal resection
- Videofluoroscopic swallow studies
