Body

At the St. Charles Center, our region’s only pediatric neurosurgeon provides specialized diagnosis and care for infants, children and adolescents facing conditions of the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves. Recognizing that neurological diseases in children differ from those in adults, our neurosurgeon combines advanced clinical expertise with compassionate, family‑centered care. We treat a full spectrum of congenital and acquired conditions - including brain and spine trauma, tumors, Chiari malformations, tethered cord, and spina bifida — using minimally invasive techniques whenever possible to promote faster recovery and less pain. 

Our commitment extends beyond single interventions; we foster long‑term relationships, supporting patients and families through growth and developmental milestones. By treating pediatric neurological conditions throughout childhood and adolescence, we ensure continuity of care tailored to each child’s evolving needs. And when immediate attention is needed, our NOWcare clinic offers walk‑in support for concussions and head trauma, ensuring timely treatment right here in Central Oregon.
