The SLUCare Physician Group neurology team at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the nervous system, brain, spinal cord, nerves and muscles. Because we understand that your child’s nervous system is very complex, we enlist the help of many other specialists and departments in the care of your child.
The SLUCare Physician Group neurosurgery team is well-equipped with state-of-the-art technology, providing specialized care for patients near and far. Our pediatric neurosurgeons are specially trained to provide exceptional care for problems related to your child’s brain, spinal cord and central nervous system.
We offer highly specialized care for children with brain tumors and central nervous system tumors. Our program is one of the few in the country with a focus on continuity of care for our brain tumor patients. Throughout your child’s care, they will have one physician and one nurse practitioner, an effort that has been cited as one of our program’s greatest benefits.
