The pediatric neurology team crosses multiple specialties and uses best practices to ensure comprehensive care for kids in Virginia. The primary outpatient location is at the new Children's Hospital of Richmond (CHoR) center consisting of the new Children’s Tower and adjacent outpatient Children’s Pavilion, opened in 2023 and completes a city block – nearly 1 million square feet – dedicated to caring for kids. We also offer services at CHoR’s satellite clinics at Chesterfield Meadows and Fredericksburg Multispecialty Center.  

Our team of compassionate experts is trained to diagnose and help families manage the rarest diseases and most critical conditions involving the brain, spine and nervous system.  

• Our multi-specialty clinics are designed to diagnose and care for kids with complex conditions that impact their neurological systems, like a concussion, spina bifida, muscular dystrophy, spasticity and more. These comprehensive, convenient clinics help kids get coordinated care in one visit – giving them more time to be kids.
  
  
• We are designated as a Level 4 Epilepsy Center, which means we offer the most sophisticated monitoring, treatment and surgical options for children with epilepsy. We continue to grow our team, leadership, research and expertise thanks to nearly $4 million in recent neurosciences funding from Children’s Hospital Foundation. 
  
  
• Our EEG lab is among a select group of labs in the country to be accredited by ABRET, the national source for neurodiagnostic credentialing and accreditation, for meeting high technical standards and demonstrating quality output while providing care for kids of all ages.
  
  
• Our multidisciplinary approach ensures we are treating your whole child, including psychosocial care, which helps children with complex medical conditions learn to navigate their health – and still be a kid. Based on your child’s needs, we collaborate with medical specialists in other areas, including neurosurgery, genetics, developmental pediatrics, urology, ophthalmology, orthopaedics and more.
  
  
• Access to the most advanced imaging in the most kid-friendly environment, such as the only 3T MRI in the region, an underwater-themed CT room and more.

Child neurologists are specially trained physicians who combine an expertise in diagnosing and treating disorders of the nervous system (brain, spinal cord, muscles, nerves) with an understanding of medical disorders in childhood and the special needs of children and their families and environments.

Specialty care is also available for children with multiple sclerosis and other autoimmune diseases of the nervous system. We also offer multidisciplinary care for patients with neurofibromatosis at the recently created, multidisciplinary neurofibromatosis clinic.  

Our division’s child neurologists care for children with the following diagnoses:

Child Neurology Residency Program

The Division of Child Neurology accepts one resident each year for a categorical residency training program. 

Led by Dr. Ewa Way and Dr. Lawrence Morton, the child neurology residency program allows increasing patient-care responsibility across three years of training. During the first year, emphasis is on the foundations of clinical neurology – primarily bedside anatomic localization and clinical diagnosis.
