Pediatric Trauma Care
Pediatric trauma refers to injuries sustained by infants and children, either during birth or through accidents, falls, or other unexpected events. Children are more vulnerable to certain injuries due to their developing bones, joints, and organs. Prompt assessment and treatment are essential to prevent complications and support healthy growth and development. Dr. Bhavik Khandelwal provides comprehensive pediatric trauma care, ensuring that each child receives safe, specialized, and compassionate treatment.
