Program overview

This program is the only one of its kind in Texas, and one of a handful across the nation. We offer a unique level of expertise in the management and treatment of patients with cerebrovascular disease specific to children and adolescents. Because cerebrovascular disease presents differently in children than in adults, our center is designed to meet the unique diagnostic and treatment needs of infants, children and teens. We use the most advanced technology and techniques designed especially for pediatric patients. Plus, we offer a kid-friendly and nurturing environment to enhance care of the child and family.
