Neurological disorders affect the brain, spinal cord, and nerves that connect them (nervous system). Many neurological conditions are present at birth (congenital) and require expert, lifelong care. Diagnosis and care for a neurological condition is complex, so it’s important to work with an experienced pediatric neurologist.
Pediatric neurologists at University of Miami Health System work with a wide range of pediatric specialists to give your child comprehensive care — including specialized nurses, physical and occupational therapists, counselors, social workers, and others. We give your child personalized attention and provide your family with the support and resources you need to manage your child’s health and well-being.
Our board-certified pediatric neurologists care for children at a variety of pediatric hospitals in Miami-Dade County and South Florida, including Holtz Children’s Hospital. We treat children of all ages, from newborns to teens.
