About Our Location
The pediatric neurosurgery program at University of Vermont Health - Golisano Children's Hospital combines the expertise of board-certified doctors with the resources of an academic medical center for excellent outcomes. Parents throughout Vermont and northern New York have access to leading-edge neurosurgical care without leaving the region.
Conditions requiring neurosurgery are often complex. We bring together a team of specialists for comprehensive care. Our pediatric neurosurgeons work closely with pediatricians and pediatric subspecialists, including pediatric neurologists, pediatric craniofacial surgeons, neuroradiologists and neuro-oncologists.
We also have a Concussion Clinic which offers free phone consultations for individuals, up to age 22. A registered nurse reviews concussion symptoms, provides referrals and can advise you on safely returning to school and sports.

Brain Surgery, Big Comeback
When severe headaches sidelined 14-year-old athlete Kian Ruid, an MRI revealed a rare brain abnormality called an arteriovenous malformation (AVM). With expert care from UVM Medical Center’s pediatric neurosurgeon, Dr. Katrina Ducis, Kian underwent a complex surgery and rehabilitation — ultimately returning to sports and inspiring dreams of a future in medicine.
