Professional Statement
Dr. Bindi Naik-Mathuria is committed to providing the finest patient-oriented care. This vision combines dedication to advanced research, exceptional education, and the development of newer, better treatments and procedures. She is Board Certified in Surgery, Pediatric Surgery, and Surgical Critical Care. As a pediatric surgeon, she is experienced in treating patients with congenital anomalies, thoracic, and gastrointestinal diseases of childhood primarily using minimally invasive surgical options. She has specialized expertise in the treatment of pediatric trauma and pediatric surgical oncology.Dr. Naik-Mathuria developed and led the Trauma Medical Director at Texas Children's Hospital, a Pediatric Level I Trauma Center at Texas Children's Hospital since its inception in 2011, bringing it national recognition for research and high-quality care for complex trauma patients.
Dr. Naik-Mathuria is an avid researcher with interests in health services research and clinical outcomes. She is funded by the CDC with an R01 grant studying the epidemiology of firearm injuries and is a strong advocate for firearm violence reduction. Currently, she has stopped clinical practice to commit to this research on a full-time basis. Dr. Naik-Mathuria also leads a large multicenter prospective clinical trial to determine the optimal management of children with pancreatic injuries. Furthermore, inspired by her African upbringing, she is also involved in global surgery, and hopes to narrow the disparities in pediatric surgical care in low resource countries.
