Pediatric Surgery

Surgery for kids is different than surgery for adults. From their growing bodies to the way they react to anesthesia, it matters that your child’s surgeon understands the differences. That’s why all our surgeons are board-certified in pediatric surgery, and our anesthesiologists all have special pediatric training.

Why Choose Le Bonheur for Your Child's Surgery?

Our surgeons are all board-certified and fellowship-trained in pediatric general surgery. They operate on kids and have more experience working with kids and families than any other surgeon in the region.
Le Bonheur has been verified as a Level I Children’s Surgery Center by the American College of Surgeons Children’s Surgery Verification Quality Improvement Program (ACS CSV). Le Bonheur is the first hospital in Tennessee to achieve this designation.
We do more minimally invasive surgeries on children for a broader range of conditions than any institution in our region. Our surgeons use minimally invasive techniques when appropriate, which means less pain and quicker recoveries for your child.
As an accredited ACS Level 1 Pediatric Trauma Center, our specialists are available 24 hours a day to diagnose, consult and treat childhood illnesses and injuries. This also means that we are always prepared to treat even the most critically ill children.
