Brief Answer: XXXXXXX E Whitehead, XXXXXXX children hospital

Detailed Answer:
I read your question carefully and I understand your concern.

If you live close to XXXXXXX then you can rest assured to have access to one of the best clinics in the US and the world, the XXXXXXX children's hospital. It is ranked 2nd in the US in pediatric neurosurgery, after only the XXXXXXX children's hospital. Of course rankings aren't everything, but it goes to illustrate that this hospital and its team have a vast experience and offers for sure the best specialized care.

In terms of specific names the Chief of Service of Neurosurgery is Professor XXXXXXX Luerssen. Among other members of the team Dr. XXXXXXX E. Whitehead is specialized in skull base abnormalities like Chiari malformations.

I hope to have been of help.
