We are one of the few institutes dedicated to treating all aspects of the brain, and are recognized as a Top 50 Neurology and Neurosurgery Program by U.S. News & World Report for 2023-2024.
Most pediatric hospitals group neurology and neurosurgery together, but we take a more comprehensive approach to brain and central nervous system care. The Hough Family Institute for Brain Protection Sciences at Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital in St. Petersburg, Florida, also includes pediatric specialists from psychiatry, psychology, neuropsychology, rehabilitative, developmental and sports medicine to provide collaborative, high-quality care for our patients in the hospital and through follow-up and rehabilitation.
Neurology
The pediatric neurology program at Johns Hopkins All Children’s provides care for infants, children and teens with a full range of neurologic problems. Our team works closely with the board-certified pediatric neurosurgeons in the Hough Family Institute for Brain Protection Sciences to provide specialized care for children who have undergone or may require neurosurgery. Our pediatric neurologists provide extensive diagnostic and treatment services for children with seizure disorders. These include inpatient telemetry, vagal nerve stimulation, ketogenic diet, and ongoing management of anti-seizure medication.
Neurosurgery
Our pediatric neurosurgery program is the largest in Florida and features world-renowned neurosurgeon George Jallo, M.D. Our team evaluates each case to draw on the experience of a team of full-time neurosurgeons. Our inpatient Surgical Neuroscience Unit has 28 individual patient rooms. For enhanced continuity of care and follow-up, we see patients in our main facility and also at Johns Hopkins All Children's Outpatient Care locations in East Lake, Fort Myers and Tampa.
