Our pediatric surgeons at Children’s Hospital Colorado offer leading-edge treatments for babies before they are born, infants, children and teens. Our surgeons are specially trained and experienced in the surgical care of kids.
At Children’s Colorado, we want kids to heal quickly. Our pediatric surgeons perform the latest minimally-invasive surgeries including laparoscopy, thoracoscopy and single incision. This approach shortens healing time and lessens the pain and discomfort of surgery for children.
Children react differently to anesthesia than adults do, which is why surgeons depend on the abilities of experienced pediatric anesthesiologists. Our pediatric anesthesiologists are specially trained to keep kids safe during surgery. Before surgery, parents can meet the anesthesiologists to ask questions and ease concerns about the process.
After surgery at Children’s Colorado, patients receive attentive, 24/7 care from surgeons in the pediatric surgical residency program at the University of Colorado and our award-winning nurses.
Multiple members of our staff participate in mission trips around the world. Trips include treating wounded soldiers and children in Afghanistan and visiting impoverished areas of Haiti, Africa and Guatemala.

Pediatric surgeons at Children's Colorado continue to advance medicine and participate in several important research areas.
Waveform diagnostics is a quickly growing research area at Children’s Colorado. Researchers are analyzing large volumes of vital sign data. This work developed a mathematical equation that monitors the risk of cardiovascular failure due to internal bleeding or dehydration. This technology will be beneficial during trauma/triage settings.
Additional research areas include fetal gene therapy and wound healing, medical information processing and resuscitation equations, diagnosis and treatment of hepatobiliary diseases and childhood cancer. Our physicians and staff also contribute to clinical studies in the areas of appendectomies, gastroesophageal reflux, trauma, biliary atresia, kidney transplants and others.
