Led by Robin Bowman, MD, and David McLone, MD, PhD, the Spina Bifida Center at Children's Memorial Hospital provides compassionate, comprehensive care to children and young adults with spina bifida and related conditions.
A coordinated team approach is the most successful treatment method for children with spina bifida. At the Spina Bifida Center, our renowned experts in Neurosurgery, Orthopaedic Surgery, and Urology collaborate with teams from Rehabilitative Services (including Physical and Occupational Therapy, Speech Pathology, Audiology, and Orthotics), Clinical Nutrition, and Family Services to provide innovative and comprehensive clinical care for our patients and their families.
Our team-based approach enables us to provide customized care for our patients. Just as every child is unique, each child with spina bifida requires care for a unique set of conditions. Our collaborative approach provides our patients with the specialized care they need to reach their individual potential and lead the fulfilling lives that all children deserve.
