Our specialists
We are committed to involving families in every part of a child's care. Throughout diagnosis, treatment and follow-up care, parents are involved in the decision-making process and are no more than a phone call away from any one of our specialists.
Core team of specialists
Based on a patient's stage of treatment, such as actively receiving radiation or chemotherapy, surgery or follow-up care, he or she mainly will see specialists in the following three areas:
Neurosurgery
Our neurosurgeons perform precise, image-guided biopsies and removal of brain tumors in children of all ages.
- Julianne Mallonee, BSN, RN
Oncology
Certain members of our Oncology team specifically manage the care of children who need chemotherapy or radiation to help treat their brain tumor. They also provide long-term, follow-up care once treatment is finished.
