Growing and Growing: New York Methodist Hospital’s Division of Pediatric Surgery
The number of children who come to New York Methodist Hospital (NYM) for general surgery has increased by almost 50 percent in the last two years, with the hospital now logging almost 500 cases annually.
There are many good reasons for the statistical leap, and two of them are Demetri Merianos, M.D, and Shaun Steigman, M.D., attending pediatric surgeons with the hospital’s Department of Surgery.
Merianos and Steigman, who joined NYM in 2013, also serve on the faculty of New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, and perform minimally invasive, inpatient and ambulatory procedures for a wide range of conditions impacting children.
