Recognized Specialists
Our specialists come from major neurological programs and they,
themselves, are professors, comprising the full-time, neuroscience
faculty of Seton Hall University's School of Graduate Medical
Education. In all respects, they are at the forefront of neurological
treatment and have at their disposal the very latest technological
tools.
Continuing Your Child's Recovery
Many neurological disorders require physical, occupational, speech and
other forms of therapy. In that regard, the Children's Neurological
Center is greatly enhanced by our relationship with the JFK Johnson
Rehabilitation Institute's Pediatric Rehabilitation Department. The
Pediatric Rehabilitation Department is the largest outpatient
pediatric rehab facility in New Jersey. As a result, you're able to
give your child the therapy he or she needs in a convenient, suburban
setting that's close to home and work.
From Where You and Your Child Stand
The Children's Neurological Center makes kids feel at home. Our
child-focused facilities and amenities offer children a reassuring,
friendly environment they can relax in. For outpatient care, most of
our services are provided in a specialized area within the New Jersey
Neuroscience Institute. Inpatient care is provided in a fully
monitored unit at JFK Medical Center that's devoted solely to
pediatric patients. In addition, the Pediatric Special Care unit is
designed for medical and post-surgical care of children. It's directed
by a board-certified, pediatric intensivist and staffed by specially
trained, pediatric nurses. A playroom is available on the pediatric
floor. Parents are always welcome to spend the night or we'll assist
you with hotel arrangements. Volunteers are available to entertain and
visit with your child, run errands, and stay with your child when you
need a break.
Children look to their parents for the extra support and nurturing
they need during times of illness. We believe in the healing power of
parents. At the Children's Neurological Center we do everything we can
to empower you.
We keep you actively informed, which means you find out information
when we do. You're always in-the-know about everything that's
happening with your child. We will not only share the results of
procedures and tests, we are always more than happy to explain what
they mean and take the time to answer your questions in language you
can understand. Our pediatric neuroscience nurse serves as an
additional liaison and parents who have been in similar circumstances
are available for support. Your child's primary care provider will be
kept fully informed and is considered part of the treatment team.
At the Children's Neurological Center, we know that when you feel
comfortable, relaxed and reassured, so will your child.
