Advanced Treatment for Pediatric Craniofacial Care

Our highly-skilled craniofacial plastic surgeons are renowned leaders in pediatric craniofacial, cleft palate and other similar conditions. Our team consists of Plastic Surgery, Orthodontics, Dentistry, Otolaryngology, Speech, Audiology, Genetics, and Ophthalmology. Working together, we lessen the burden of each condition and prevent further damage. The complex craniomaxillofacial team has the same goal for our patients as their caregivers and loved ones do - for each child to have the very best quality of life possible.

Treatments

Our clinical team provides the full spectrum of general plastic surgery with a strong focus on jaw surgery (upper, lower and chin). We use the latest technological advances to virtually and precisely plan the pediatric surgery before ever stepping foot in the operating room. Operative Plans, computer simulations and 3-D surgical planning are shared with patients and families. These specially-trained professionals offer the full spectrum of cleft care, including:
  • Prenatal visits
