Charles J. H. Stolar, MD
Surgeon-in-ChiefDirector, Division of Pediatric Surgery
The Division of Pediatric Surgery at NewYork-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital carries a tradition of leadership and innovation that dates back nearly half a century. We are proud of our experience as educators at one of the original training programs for pediatric surgeons in the United States, as pioneers conducting research in many aspects of pediatric surgery, and most importantly, as clinicians who provide high quality, compassionate, and family-centered care for infants, children, and adolescents.
Every member of our staff is a member of the faculty of Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons and Weill Cornell Medical College. The faculty is locally, nationally, and internationally known for a wide range of expertise including the program for extra-corporeal life support (ECMO) for care of infants and children with life- threatening cardio-respiratory failure, minimal access surgery of the chest and abdomen, childhood surgical oncology care, pre and postnatal care of congenital birth defects, pediatric trauma, and vascular malformations.
Beyond our reputation for patient care, education, and research, we take particular pride in combining pediatric surgical expertise with compassion. Uniquely designed to ease the anxieties of children, parents, and other family members, our family-centered care offers guest accommodations within the Hospital, parental access to the operating and recovery rooms, support groups-even visits from the Big Apple Circus Clown Care Unit. At Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital, we strive to make every child and family's visit as easy and comfortable as possible.
