Exceptional Surgical Care

Level I Children's Surgery Center

Safety guides every surgical decision from start to finish at CHKD. That’s one reason why the American College of Surgeons (ACS) has repeatedly granted CHKD the highest level of certification for pediatric surgical care.

Minimally Invasive Surgery

CHKD has been a leader in minimally invasive surgery for decades and now uses the Da Vinci surgical system to avoid large incisions and operate on hard-to-reach places when clinically appropriate.
