The Department of Surgery at Texas Children’s Hospital represents a dedicated team of more than 80 pediatric-focused surgeons representing at least 9 different subspecialties. Another 600 employees help make up the department, which is dedicated to caring for and improving the health of children through patient care, education and research.
The surgical team treats children in and around the greater Houston area via our five Health Centers and two, soon to be three, hospitals. It also sees patients at other hospitals around the country and the globe. Annually, Texas Children’s surgeons perform 25,000 operative cases and 115,000 clinic visits, including 90 fetal procedures and about 20 neurological laser ablations.
“We have a tremendous team here,” said Surgeon-In-Chief Dr. Charles D. Fraser, Jr. “The scope and breadth of expertise, that gets fielded here every single day is amazing.”
