Better alternatives to surgery
We are proud to offer special endoscopy options for children, which puts less stress on growing bodies. Our endoscopic alternatives allow our doctors to examine the inside of the body without having to do major surgery. This offers a less invasive approach and a faster recovery time than compared to traditional surgery.
We're proud of our advanced services and are honored to be able to provide them to your child. So their treatment and healing can be driven by compassion.

Scarlett's Story
"My daughter Scarlett has been in and out of the hospital for the last five months. Every time we have been seen by Dr. Laborda's team we have had nothing but a positive experience. All of the nurses are extremely compassionate, understanding and really listen to their patients. All these nurses are extremely busy yet take the time to go out of their way to make everybody feel important. Our daughter has an issue with her anatomy that Dr. Laborda hasn’t been able to figure out yet, however he is not quick to do exploratory surgery and would rather take the time talking to other specialists to give our daughter the best care possible. He really takes the time to listen to us, answer all of our questions and concerns and gives us very clear details of his thoughts and strategies. He makes us feel very included and in control of our daughter’s treatment."
