Reconstructive Pelvic Medicine
Meet Your Team
The Reconstructive Pelvic Medicine Program brings together many different healthcare experts to care for all your child’s needs. Each team member is specially trained in treatments and services that children, adolescents and young adults need for pelvic conditions. These range from complex surgery to bowel management to emotional and nutritional support. Our team-based approach, often called multidisciplinary care, focuses on the best possible quality of life for your child.
