Dr. Wehby is frequently voted a “Top Doctor” by her peers in both local and national publications.

Dr. Wehby is internationally recognized for her expertise in spina bifida and tethered cord. She is experienced in and enjoys all aspects of pediatric neurosurgery, with particular clinical interest in craniofacial reconstruction, hydrocephalus, congenital anomalies, neonatal surgery, and child abuse.

Dr. Wehby states “Being a scientist and extrovert, medicine was a natural career choice for me; if we are not here to make life better for one another, then what’s the point? I was drawn to the specialty of pediatric neurosurgery because of the intricate and critical nature of the work, as well as the opportunity to use my artistic skills with craniofacial reconstructions. I believe there is no greater honor than when a parent hands their child over to me before surgery and says, ‘Dr. Wehby, take care of my baby.’ I am blessed to love what I do everyday.”
