Choose a Pediatric Surgeon for Your Child’s Care

Pediatric surgeons are certified in both general and pediatric surgery and must pass certifications for both before practicing. Education and training needed to become a pediatric surgeon takes many years after medical school and are one of the longest training programs for surgeons. Pediatric surgeons train for an additional seven years after medical school. Pediatric surgeons have the greatest expertise in dealing with children’s surgical needs.
