When my one-year-old son Tommy needed stitches after a fall split the skin near his eyebrow, the experience with The Plastic Surgery Center’s specialized pediatric program was excellent compared to the hospital experience. The surgeon was incredibly skilled and gentle, you can barely see a scar now, and when the procedure was finished, Tommy wasn’t even crying. We were out in less than 20 minutes, and the staff made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The whole process was quick, seamless and reassuring. As a parent, I felt confident knowing he was in expert hands, and I’m so grateful for the care and value we received.

What to Expect If Your Child Gets a Cut

Stay calm, cool, and collected

Take a deep breath. Your child will mirror your energy — staying steady helps everyone.

Check that it’s not a true emergency

If the bleeding is severe, the wound is spurting, or your child is unresponsive, call 911 or head to the ER. We can help with most cuts that are clean, shallow, or facial.

Hold gentle pressure on the injury

Use a moist, clean cloth or gauze and apply gentle pressure to control bleeding.

Gather insurance information

We accept most major plans. If you’re unsure, we can confirm coverage over the phone.

Contact us for a same-day visit

Call our office right away — we reserve time every day for urgent injuries like this. Most visits take less than an hour, and your child will leave with a lollipop (and a lot less stress).

Patient Testimonials

Dr. Hahn is truly amazing and put us at ease after our 2 year old son injured his hand and needed his fingertip repaired. Dr. Hahn was upfront, compassionate and extremely patient with our son. He explained everything and did a phenomenal job repairing his finger.

Shelby L.

Dr. Ciminello is amazing. My 3 year old daughter fell and needed stitches on Christmas night and Hackensack Pediatric ER was an absolute nightmare and a horrible experience !!!!!! Dr. Ciminello took time out of his own family time on a holiday to answer multiple phone calls, talking to us, guiding us on what to do etc. He came in early the next morning and took wonderful care of my daughter and I could not be more thankful for him and medical expertise.

Jackie

My 8 year old son had an accident in school and was terrified when he was told he needed to get stitches. I was referred by my sons Pediatrician to see Dr. Ciminello. His professionalism as well as his staff was amazing! It was the BEST experience by far I have ever encountered with any doctor for my children.
