Get support and care through our specialty clinics

Our specialty clinics provide focused care for certain conditions. Our team is dedicated to lessening your child’s discomfort so they can enjoy life and get back to being a kid.

We treat children with Pediatric Acute-Onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome through our PANS Clinic. PANS is a disorder that often appears to be linked to an inflammatory or autoimmune response in the brain. It develops after an infection.

Our rheumatologists provide care to children with many types of autoimmune diseases. We bring in other UW Health Kids specialists, as needed, and make sure your child gets the highest quality care.
