Pediatric Surgery

Our pediatric team takes a compassionate, family-centered approach to care. Your child's comfort is our top priority and our staff is committed to making sure both you and your child understand the process every step of the way.

At Stamford Hospital we perform both in patient and out patient pediatric surgical procedures:

In Patient

Children having surgery that requires a hospital stay are taken care of in our newly-decorated pediatric unit where we offer a special kids' menu, a visiting cart with video games and DVDs and a treasure chest toy closet, with each child who spends time on our floor invited to select an age-appropriate gift to take home. Our physician and nursing staff work closely with your primary care physician and our pediatric specialists. This team approach ensures that your child gets the best care possible. 

Pre-operative in-patient tours are available upon request.  Contact Kathy Livoisi, Director of Maternal/Child Health, at 203-276-7179.

Day Surgery

Most pediatric out-patient surgery is performed at our convenient Tully Health Center, where there is valet parking, a resource library with internet access, a café and an on-site pharmacy.

Tully Teddy Bear Tours  are available ahead of time to help kids learn about their upcoming operation and ask questions. Children and their parents come meet the surgical team and tour the operating room with Teddy, our Tully Bear! Nurses and anesthesiologist will be on hand to answer your questions and create a positive family experience.

We have refreshments and every child will be given a Tully Teddy Bear and coloring book that explains  what to expect when they come back for their surgery.

Teddy Bear Tours are held every Wednesday from 3:30-4:00 pm at the Tully Surgery Center. To arrange a Teddy Bear Tour please call 276-6196.
