Pediatric Neurosurgeon

Hi, it's nice to meet You!

Dr. Laila Mohammad
I know how overwhelming it can feel when your child is facing a pediatric neurosurgery diagnosis. That’s why I’m here—to help guide you through every step of the journey. My goal is to make things clearer, less stressful, and more manageable by focusing on education, support, and empowerment. From understanding the diagnosis to life beyond surgery, I’m here to make sure both you and your child feel informed, confident, and truly cared for.
