The neurology center at MemorialCare Miller Children’s & Women’s offers a multi-disciplinary approach to care for children with developmental conditions, neurological and spine disorders. Expert pediatric teams consisting of neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons, spine surgeons and physiatrists treat children of all ages, continuing treatment and care into adulthood alongside its nationally known sister hospital, MemorialCare Long Beach (Calif.) Medical Center, located on the same campus. Pediatric neurologists diagnose and treat various neurological conditions, such as epilepsy, migraines, attention deficit disorder and Guillain-Barré syndrome. It is one of only seven hospitals in California with American Board of Registration of Electroencephalographic and Evoked Potential Technologists long-term monitoring accreditation for epilepsy care. Physicians also treat brain tumors and collaborate with neurosurgeons and hematologists/oncologists to create leading treatment plans for optimal outcomes. Its EOS imaging system uses two to three times less radiation than X-rays and offers extremely detailed images of patients in a standing position, lowering lifetime radiology dosing. As California’s only children’s hospital with ExcelsiusGPS robotic navigation technology for kids, state-of-the-art equipment creates a 7D surgical platform for intraoperative navigation in spinal deformity surgeries to eliminate radiation exposure, cut operative times and improve accurate screw placements. Its bone and soft tissue tumor program is the area’s only hospital with a fellowship-trained surgeon in pediatric orthopedic surgery and musculoskeletal oncology.
