Specialties
-
Pediatric Surgery
Pediatric surgeons are to children what general surgeons are to adults, performing a wide range of surgeries on the organs and structures of the abdomen. Because children are still maturing and growing, their surgical needs are much different from that of an adult. Dr. Fuchs has been specifically trained to take these and other factors into account when planning for and performing pediatric surgeries.
-
Pediatric Neurology
Pediatric neurologists provide care for disorders of the nervous system in children. When diagnosing patients, Dr. Fuchs may perform procedures such as PET scans, EMG or EEG tests or nerve conduction velocity tests, among others. He may treat conditions like epilepsy, aneurysms, behavioral and neuromuscular disorders, sleep problems, learning disabilities, and many other neurological conditions.
-
Neurosurgery
As a neurosurgeon, Dr. Fuchs is trained to perform highly technical surgeries to correct disorders of the central, autonomic or peripheral nervous systems. He may provide both invasive and minimally-invasive surgical treatment options, depending upon the patient's condition. Neurosurgeons may treat spinal disorders, traumatic brain injuries, tumors, Parkinson's disease, and more.
