Pediatric Neurosurgery - AdventHealth for Children

Overview

The Walt Disney Pavilion at Advent Health for Children is looking for an exceptional and dynamic, fellowship‑trained pediatric neurosurgeon to join our program in Orlando, Florida. Ideal candidates will have several years of experience and specific interests in brain tumors and craniofacial surgery, collaborating with our new, dedicated pediatric neuro‑oncologist and a plastic craniofacial surgeon, respectively. Our team includes two pediatric neurosurgeons supported by three PA’s who provide care in both inpatient and outpatient settings.

The hospital has eight dedicated neurosurgical operating suites, including a 3T intraoperative MRI and a 64‑slice intraoperative CT. As part of Advent Health for Children, we also have a dedicated 8‑bed epilepsy monitoring unit. Diagnostic facilities include state‑of‑the‑art 3T MRIs, PET, SPECT, MEG center, and Gamma Knife, along with Monteris LITT and InSightec ExAblate focused ultrasound. The physician will work with a multidisciplinary team—including pharmacology, psychology, pediatric neurology, pediatric radiology, and pediatric epilepsy—to become a leading best‑practice model that is research‑based, data‑driven, and led by experts.

Our surgical epilepsy program is the second busiest program in the nation and has been number one in volume in Florida for ten straight years. The pediatric neurology and epilepsy team continues to expand, providing care for patients from around the country in our Level IV program.
