Our team is 100% kid-focused and it is our job to help them grow up safe and healthy.”

It has plans to add other surgical specialities by early next year. 

“We are replicating the care we provide in our outpatient surgery centers in Akron and Boardman with the same surgeons, anesthesiologists and surgical services staff caring for patients in Beachwood,” said Dr. Daniel Goldstein, a board-certified pediatric anesthesiologist and medical director of the Akron Children’s Outpatient Surgical Center in Beachwood, in a press release.
