"It is an honor to return to NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia and to have the opportunity to help further advance the outstanding clinical care and research performed here," says Dr. Stylianos.

We strive to make this excellent level of care available to all children and families in need."
"I am delighted we could persuade Dr. Stylianos to return to NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia," says Dr. Craig R.

With Dr. Riviello's expertise in treating epilepsy and related disorders, and Dr. Stylianos' expertise in critical care and trauma surgery, parents and families can be assured that they've come to right place."
