He takes a thoughtful approach, striving to listen intently and to fully understand the unique experience of each child and family.

Dr. Craig's training included the full breadth of general and pediatric surgery: the surgical care of cancer in children including neuroblastoma, Wilms' tumor, rhabdomyosarcoma, hepatoblastoma, osteosarcoma and thyroid cancer; the comprehensive management of fetal, newborn, and infant surgical problems such as diaphragmatic hernia, congenital lung cysts, esophageal atresia, abdominal wall defects, anorectal malformations, intestinal obstructions, biliary cysts and atresia, and lymphovascular malformations; and emergency surgical care including traumatic injuries of all severity. He favors minimally invasive approaches to operations whenever safe and feasible.
