If your baby arrives early or will need specialized care after birth, you want to know they’re in the best hands. Children’s Medical Center Dallas is home to some of the nation’s top neonatologists who specialize in caring for the most critically ill babies, with the most complex needs.
From prenatal diagnosis through delivery and the NICU, our collaborative and compassionate team is equipped to deliver any care or treatment your baby may need from fetus to 5 years old. We use this expertise – and the latest technologies – to help your baby grow in the hospital and thrive at home.
Why Children's Health?
Our team cares for more than 650 babies a year, and being a Level IV NICU means we never need to refer your baby to another hospital. With experience in everything from early delivery to congenital abnormalities to fetal surgery, we have the expertise to identify your baby's unique needs and match them with the right care and treatments.
We’re also at the forefront of research, collaborating with our peers to improve prenatal and post-natal care now and for future generations. For example, our work as part of a national research group found that quickly cooling a baby’s whole body helps their brains heal after injury. Now, many hospitals have adopted cooling as a new standard of care.
