Spina Bifida
We offer a variety of services and resources for children and adults living with spina bifida. Although there are many physicians who treat spina bifida in children, there are few such specialists for adults. We treat children and teens as they transition from pediatric care to adult care, as well as adults on an ongoing basis.
