Our pediatric trauma surgeons are globally recognized experts in evaluating and caring for injured children. Families benefit from a team with extensive experience managing both common and life-threatening injuries while helping children recover safely after trauma.
Innovative Care Focused on Better Outcomes
Our team participates in pediatric trauma research to improve care for injured children today and in the future. We offer specialized care for concussion management, solid organ injuries and acute stress after trauma. We also help families prevent future injuries through education, including car seat safety guidance.
Team-Based Care from Injury Through Recovery
Trauma care often involves experts from many specialties. Our trauma surgeons work closely with providers across Cincinnati Children's to create one coordinated treatment plan. Depending on your child's injuries, the team may include specialists in emergency medicine, neurosurgery, orthopaedics, rehabilitation medicine, behavioral medicine and pediatric intensive care. Families also have access to nurses who answer questions and help coordinate follow-up care after a child leaves the hospital.
Caring for the Whole Child
Recovery after an injury involves more than physical healing. Our team provides whole-child care by supporting your child's mental, emotional and social well-being alongside medical treatment. We understand that traumatic injuries happen without warning, and we work to meet families where they are with compassionate care and practical support throughout recovery.
