Emily Meyer, NP, is a UW Health Kids nurse practitioner in pediatric neurosurgery (procedures related to the nervous system). She cares for children throughout their surgical journey, both preparing them for surgery and caring for them post-operatively. Emily sees patients with hydrocephalus (fluid buildup in the brain), spina bifida (spinal cord birth defect), spasticity (abnormal muscle tightness) and epilepsy. She has a special interest in treating children with movement disorders and patients who use a baclofen pump (a device that delivers muscle relaxant to the spinal cord). Emily puts her patients and their families first. She listens carefully to her patients and educates them on their conditions. Emily also helps manage any side effects to ensure that her patients are comfortable, especially after surgery. She makes sure surgical wounds are healing properly and that her patients have proper care at home after discharge. The most rewarding part of Emily’s day is when a patient feels better and has an improved quality of life. She truly enjoys seeing children meet their health goals and be able to do things they’ve never done before. Outside of the clinic, Emily enjoys spending time with her daughter and being outdoors. At the end of the day, what's important is improving the life of a child.
