Dr. Sivakumar Jaikumar

I am physician assistant specialized in pediatric neurosurgery. I started working in neurosurgery in 2023, after working several years of working in outpatient psychiatry. I have always had a strong passion for working with children and am honored to be a part of you or your loved one's care. I understand that your child seeing a specialist, specifically a neurosurgeon, may be a daunting experience. It is my goal for you and your family to feel supported and understood during this process. Our neurosurgery team as a whole strives to care for your child like they are one of our own. It is truly a privilege to be trusted with the care of your child or loved one. Dr. Vecchiola is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Brain Herniation.
