Coordinated care tailored to your child
One size doesn’t fit all when it comes to treating pediatric head and neck tumors. Our team will perform a comprehensive evaluation of your child’s benign or malignant tumor. We work with other disciplines - including surgery, oncology, endocrinology, plastic surgery and others – to determine how to best treat or remove the tumor and provide follow-up care. We are committed to working together to discuss, develop and implement a care plan that’s right for your child.
Surgical expertise when you need it
Our surgeons see more pediatric patients than any other practice in North Texas, offering unmatched expertise to deliver better outcomes for your child and your entire family. If your child requires surgery to treat or remove a head or neck mass, you can take comfort in our experience and caring environment that caters directly to children.
If your child is diagnosed with a benign or malignant tumor, it can be overwhelming. You may be wondering if they will need surgery or medication to reduce the tumor’s size.
Head and neck tumors require specialized care from a team that understands a child’s anatomy – from the smaller size of the head and neck to their growing and changing bodies. At Children's Health℠, the surgeons, providers and staff have unique insight into the care your child needs because we only treat children. We are the only program in the region that treats head and neck tumors from a pediatric perspective so you can be confident that your child will be in good hands.
