SDSC is an ideal choice when considering surgery for your child. The warm comfortable design coupled with our caring and experienced staff help take the fear out of surgery. SDSC offers a needle-free approach for our younger patients. Most blood work and IV starts can be performed after your child is under anesthesia. We treat children with special attention and tenderness. Moms and Dads are encouraged to stay with their child right up until surgery and will be reunited with their child as soon as they are awakened from their procedure. We encourage the child to bring a special toy or blanket with them to comfort them throughout their stay. Parents take comfort in knowing that our staff is specially trained in pediatric care.
