UT Medical Group, Inc.'s division of Critical Care in the Department of Pediatrics is comprised of physicians on the faculty of the University Of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis who offer both clinical and consultation services and are certified by the American Board of Pediatrics and are certified or board eligible for the Pediatric Critical Care Certification.

As the name implies, Critical Care Pediatricians work with other health professionals to care for critically ill and injured infants and children facing life-threatening conditions. Critical care can include diagnosis and treatment of burns, gunshot wounds and other trauma as well as overwhelming infections, respiratory insufficiency, heart attacks, and stroke. Intervention by the Critical Care team can prevent or alleviate some problems that might occur as the child grows up.

Often, illnesses affect many areas of the body and may require evaluation and treatment by several types of doctors. Our doctors can easily call on their colleagues in other specialties for consultation. Locations throughout the Memphis area make quality health care convenient to you and your family.
