Dr. Helen Hsieh
"I became a pediatric surgeon first and foremost for the patients. At Stony Brook Children's Hospital, I have the opportunity to provide integrated, leading-edge pediatric surgical care with the support of an extraordinary, child- and family-focused team." Expertise: Specializes in surgery for infants, children, and adolescents from newborn to age 17.

Stony Brook Children's Hospital is Suffolk County's only children's hospital. Approach to care: "I want to provide each patient with the kind of care that I would want for my own child — highest quality, delivered with compassion." Dr. Hsieh is committed to collaborating with a multidisciplinary team to provide highly individualized care tailored to patients and their families. Training: Dr. Hsieh received both of her doctorate degrees from Stony Brook University. She completed her residency in general surgery at McGill University, Montreal, and her fellowship in pediatric surgery at Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Ste. Justine, Montreal.

Dr. Coren also offers prenatal surgical consultations when congenital conditions (abnormalities present at birth) are suspected. Approach to care: Committed to achieving optimal outcomes for patients. "This requires communicating effectively, compassionately and professionally with patients and families; making evidence-based decisions about diagnostic and therapeutic interventions; understanding children's evolving psychosocial and developmental needs; and working closely with other disciplines within our multidisciplinary, patient-focused team."
