Dad's Words: Our Shriners Hospital Experience

There is no instruction manual for parenthood, but even if there was, I don’t think it would have a section on how to react when your child tells you they want to die.

Reconstructive Surgery

Shriners Children’s provides innovative, personalized care for children with reconstructive needs.

Plastic Surgery

Shriners Children’s experienced pediatric plastic surgeons use reconstructive plastic surgery techniques to bring hope and healing to families dealing with differences involving the face, jaw, eyelids, ears, breasts or skin.

Physical Therapy with an Ellipse Nail

Physical therapy combined with an Ellipse Nail can help create the best quality of life for a child with a limb length discrepancy treated at Shriners Children's.

Colon Resection/Sigmoid Resection/Bowel Resection

Colon resections, also referred to as sigmoid resections or bowel resections, are performed by our pediatric surgeons. The procedure involves removing part of the bowel to treat and prevent diseases and conditions that affect the colon.

Spine Surgery

At Shriners Children's, we explore all non-surgical options for your child's spine before considering surgery. If surgery is recommended, your child will be in the hands of our world renowned pediatric orthopedic surgeons.
