Transforming children’s lives through surgical excellence
At UCLA, our pediatric surgeons lead advances in minimally invasive techniques, fetal interventions, and complex neonatal care. Each faculty member combines deep clinical expertise with a commitment to research and education. We care for children and families from across Southern California and beyond, delivering specialized treatment in a supportive, family-centered environment. As part of a world-class academic medical center, we push the boundaries of what’s possible in pediatric surgery.
