Pediatric Neurology Division

The division of pediatric neurology at the University of Miami School of Medicine, is committed to the diagnosis and treatment of childhood-onset neurologic disorders.

Our board-certified pediatric neurologists care for children from South Florida and beyond, at a variety of pediatric clinics in Miami-Dade County and South Florida and at Holtz Children’s Hospital in the Jackson Memorial Health System. Here an interdisciplinary team of neurology, neurosurgery, and rehabilitation specialists provide care in a state-of-the-art pediatric facility including an intensive care unit, one of the largest neonatal intensive care units in the nation, a video EEG telemetry unit, and a pediatric neurosciences unit. We treat children of all ages, from newborns to teens.

Our faculty perform a unique gene therapy for those diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). Designated as a SMA Treatment Center thru the State of Florida Department of Health Newborn Screening Program, we are the only program in South Florida.

The faculty is also actively involved in research projects studying neuro-developmental and genetic disorders as well as the teaching of medical students, pediatric and neurology residents and fellows.
