The Children's Hospital of Georgia is one of only two children's hospitals in Georgia with specially trained pediatric surgeons. We are proud to be able to boast a level of expertise, experience and compassion that sets us apart.

To bring the best of general pediatric and thoracic surgical procedures to our patients, we coordinate care with outstanding specialists that include pediatric gastroenterologists, pediatric anesthesiologists, radiologists, intensivists and pathologists.

We continually strive to find new and different methods, technologies and treatments to benefit and improve the lives of our young patients.
