Our Services
Services range from routine to emergency care, and include medical as well as surgical outpatient and inpatient services. We treat more than 20,000 children each year for problems ranging from chronic ear infections to tumors of the head and neck. We also offer cochlear implants as an option for children who aren't helped by hearing aids.
Inpatient and Ambulatory Surgery
When surgery is necessary, a skilled team of pediatric otolaryngologists, anesthesiologists, and nurses team up to give patients the best care possible. Close to 2,500 surgeries for head and neck disorders are performed on children at the hospital each year, making the otolaryngologist team exceptionally proficient in handling surgical cases. Pediatric surgeries now take place in Golisano Children's Hospital's Mildred Levine Pediatric Surgical Suite, our facility designed with children's needs and comfort in mind. Ambulatory surgery occurs at the Sawgrass Surgical Center and at Strong West.
