Why Choose the Aerodigestive Center at Monroe Carell
- Collaborative care
Your child will see our team of specialists in one appointment and in one room. They work together during the appointment and share a single record to decide the best plan of care for your child. We also partner with your child's local pediatrician and other providers they have seen to learn medical history and make the best plan for ongoing health.
- Coordinated care
If your child needs further evaluation in the operating room, we use anesthesia only once and schedule procedures to be done at the same time. This helps our team to review your child’s tests together and compare results, and keeps your child from having to get anesthesia for separate procedures.
- Convenient care
Combining clinic visits, diagnostic procedures and surgeries offers your child higher quality care, less discomfort and less time away from home. This makes it easier and faster for us to give your child the care they need. Our regional Monroe Carell clinics also give you a place to get follow-up care closer to your home.
