Why Choose Cooper for Pediatric Surgery?
Parents and caregivers choose Cooper for pediatric surgery because of our:
- Surgical expertise: When your child needs surgery, safety is your top concern. Our team includes pediatric surgeons, pediatric anesthesiologists, and other subspecialists, many of them fellowship-trained in their areas of expertise. This advanced training means our experts are equipped to perform a full range of surgical procedures 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. As our specialists collaborate together, you can be confident your child is receiving timely, expert care for any surgical procedure.
- National recognition: Cooper’s pediatric surgeons have gained national recognition from the National Pediatric Trauma Registry, reflecting their surgical excellence. You can be confident your child is in excellent hands with our pediatric surgeons.
- Research and innovation: We strive to be on the leading edge of medical education and research. Our entire surgical staff stays on top of the most recent advancements in pediatric surgery techniques, ensuring all children receive the highest level of care.
- Thoughtful care approach: We care deeply about our patients and their families, and it’s evident in everything we do. Our youngest patients have the opportunity to drive into the operating room via remote controlled mini cars, which eases their anxiety and makes the places we are taking care of them not feel like a hospital. As part of our pre-surgery program, Cooper’s pediatric surgeons meet patients in the operating room before surgery and show them little details, like the scrubs they’ll wear during the operation. This helps put children at ease and lets families meet our skilled specialists firsthand.
