Tampa Doctor Recommends Prenatal Care After CP Report

A new report released this month indicates that cerebral palsy is not caused by certain conditions medical professionals once thought were to blame.

In general, the report suggests that an evidence review indicates that birth defects play a much larger role than asphyxia or prematurity, which were both previously thought to have been major causes. Therefore, prenatal care and genetic counseling should be emphasized as prevention strategies.

  • As a parent, hearing your child needs corrective surgery that includes placing rods and screws in the body, a five day hospital stay and three weeks of recovery can be overwhelming to say the least. Dr. Siambanes and his wonderful staff eased 100% of the stress and worry while making what was in my mind a harrowing ordeal equal to an afternoon visit to the dentist. The hospital staff was attentive and eager to help in anyway possible. My son’s recovery has gone so well and he has healed so quickly, family and friends are amazed he even had surgery.

  • I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Siambanes to see if my daughter was a candidate for scoliosis surgery. The results following her surgery were fantastic! She flew through surgery and came home only 4 days after! She now sits up straight, her incision has healed beautifully and there were no complications. I cannot express my gratitude to Dr. Siambanes for the amazing surgery he performed on my daughter. He alone took her on when no one else would touch her and now her life has been prolonged and she has a much better quality of life.
