At Boston Children’s Hospital, we recognize the diagnosis of spina bifida requires lifelong management. No matter the complexity of your child’s spina bifida, we offer the most comprehensive care at each stage of your child’s life, from infancy through early adulthood.
Spina bifida is a wholebody condition that requires a wholeperson approach. Our team of experts from over a dozen specialties works together to develop one personalized and coordinated care plan for you and your family. Every visit — from clinic visits to testing to surgery — is coordinated by our nurse practitioners, allowing you to focus on what’s most important: your child.
A significant part of our success comes from our commitment to research and clinical trials. Boston Children’s is known for pioneering some of the most effective surgeries, diagnostic procedures and other essential techniques in treating diseases, including spina bifida.

From advanced imaging tests, to pioneering surgical treatments, to educational resources and emotional support, our staff is here to help ensure that your child has the best chance for a healthy, fulfilling life.
