This advanced training means our experts are skilled to perform a full range of surgeries on children of all ages, including newborns.
- Team approach: Children’s Regional Hospital at Cooper has 27 pediatric subspecialist programs – more than any other hospital in South Jersey. Our specialists work together to ensure your child receives timely, expert care for any surgical procedure.

- Research and innovation: As part of an academic health system, our pediatric surgery team remains at the forefront of new pediatric surgery techniques and research to give your child the highest level of care possible.
- Thoughtful care approach: We understand that surgery can be scary for children.

Our pediatric surgeons also meet families in the operating room before surgery to show children the scrubs doctors will wear and equipment to help them feel comfortable and confident.
