Our Programs

The clinical and community programs at Weill Cornell Medical College offer the very best in care and compassion for patients and families.

Pediatric Neuro-Oncology and Pediatric Brain Tumor Programs

The Pediatric Neuro-Oncology Program and the Pediatric Brain Tumor Program offer a multidisciplinary approach to treating our young patients. Using endoscopic and other minimally invasive diagnostic and surgical techniques, and we assemble a team that may include a neurological surgeon as well as a neurologist, radiation therapist, neuroendocrinologist, and oncologist, all dedicated to achieving the best outcome for each patient.

Comprehensive Pediatric Epilepsy Program

The Comprehensive Pediatric Epilepsy Program combines the expertise of neurologists, neuropsychologists, and neurosurgeons. Because many forms of treatment are available for successfully treating children with epilepsy, each specialist has an integral role in defining and contributing to the optimal treatment plan.

NeuroModulation Clinic

Many children experience issues of what we call �neuromodulation,� meaning walking, balancing, and movement. At the Neuromodulation Clinic, our multidisciplinary team of specialists evaluates children with any movement disorder, but we commonly see children with cerebral palsy, dystonia, traumatic brain injury, stroke, tumors, and similar conditions. We offer individually tailored care to help children regain or improve function. More about the NeuroModulation Clinic

Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery

At Weill Cornell we use Minimally Invasive surgical approaches wherever possible. Minimally invasive techniques reduce risk of complications and lead to faster recovery times. Weill Cornell has been a leader in this field, with a minimally invasive surgery program that began more than a decade ago.
