Our team at the Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome Clinic at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) offers diagnosis, surveillance and treatment for children with Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome (BWS) and related disorders. We work closely with your family and your pediatrician throughout your child’s journey.
Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome can cause several different physical features. Some children may have only one of these features, while other children will have more. Depending on each child’s needs, our clinic has many specialized services available. Some children might benefit from speech therapy or help with eating. Other children might have a risk of developing cancer. We are here to support your child and family in every situation.
How we serve you
We will give your child the very best care. To do this, we have specialized programs that help children depending on their specific needs. Our goal is to build a strong relationship to support you and your child.
