Stephanie Chao, MD
Assistant Professor
Pediatric Surgery
“My goal is to make surgery as easy and stress-free for kids as possible.”
My Approach
I'm pleased to offer surgical solutions that help kids live better for the rest of their lives. I only perform surgeries when absolutely necessary. I understand that surgery is scary for children. That's why I make the process as short and painless as possible, knowing that when surgery is complete, kids will feel better.
I'm proud to be a part of our CHARIOT Program, which uses virtual reality to take a child's focus off surgery. This innovation allows us to lower a child's anxiety and minimize exposure to anesthesia. It's just one way we make surgeries easier for children.
