Why a Pediatric Surgeon?
Children are not able to react to a medical issue like an adult. They cannot always say what is hurting them. They often cannot answer medical questions, and are not always able to be relaxed and helpful during a medical exam. We know how to cater to and treat children in a way that helps us solve their medical problems more efficiently and effectively.
Additionally, pediatric surgeons have equipment and facilities specifically designed for babies, children and teens. Our pediatric surgical office is arranged and decorated with children and families in mind. This includes the examination rooms and waiting rooms, which may have toys, videos, and reading materials for children. This helps create a more comfortable and less threatening environment for your child – so we can do our job better!
If your pediatrician refers you to Pediatric Surgical Associates P.A., you can be assured that we have the widest range of treatment options, the most extensive and complete training, and the greatest expertise in dealing with children and their medical disorders.
We provide solutions for a number of pediatric medical conditions including:
- Vascular Anomalies

- Intussusception
- Inguinal Hernia
- And More…
Post-Surgical Follow-Up
Post-surgical follow-up appointments are an essential part of any surgical care.They are extremely important for pediatric surgeries as children might not be as aware of their condition, pain, or abnormality.
They exist for two primary functions:
- to assess for success of the operation or intervention
- to look for complications.
Many pediatric surgeries are very common in patients of a young age, but careful follow-up is an essential part of ensuring a successful and safe outcome.
Representing general and specialty surgical disciplines, Dr. Gandhi, Dr. Friedman, and Dr. LoSasso have improved the quality of life for countless newborns, children and adolescents. The list above is only a few of the conditions that we treat.
We are known for our attention to detail and superior outcomes with lower complication rates compared to the national standard. In general, our patients experience smaller incisions, less pain, shorter hospital stays and a quicker return to school and other activities.
