Support Services

Support services are a vital part of your child's surgical care experience. Our patients and families benefit from:

  • Patient- and family-centered care
  • Close access to Ronald McDonald House Charities of Augusta—just steps from Wellstar Children’s—offering a home away from home for patient families who live 25 miles (or more) from Augusta

What is Craniosynostosis?

With this condition, a baby's skull sutures close too early. This can restrict brain growth and development and raise cosmetic concerns. If your child is diagnosed with craniosynostosis, your team of specialists will discuss treatment options with you.

What is Hydrocephalus?

Hydrocephalus develops when there is either a disruption of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow or a problem with CSF absorption. If your child is diagnosed with hydrocephalus, your pediatric neurosurgery team will discuss treatment options with you.

This is a condition in which the back of the brain—the hindbrain—pokes through the base of the skull and into the spinal canal, the place where the spinal cord is located. If your child is diagnosed with Chiari Malformation, your pediatric neurosurgery team will discuss treatment options with you.
