CRANIOFACIAL AND CLEFT CENTER

Craniofacial problems are not rare. One in every 500 children is born with craniofacial problems such as cleft lip and palate. There has been significant progress in the care of these children over the last decade. With early treatment and intervention, the majority of children who are born with these problems can live happily with more normal facial features.

Our team is dedicated to the early diagnosis and treatment of craniofacial anomalies. The Craniofacial and Cleft Center provides complete care for your child including a team of pediatric specialists. The Center brings together geneticists, audiologists, speech pathologists, reconstructive plastic surgeons, neurosurgeons, ophthalmologists, otolaryngologists, psychologists, social workers, pediatric dentists, orthodontists, oral surgeons, prosthodontists, and specially-trained nurses.

Center team members strive to provide the most efficient and convenient care possible by avoiding long hospital stays and performing outpatient procedures whenever possible. Eighty percent of outpatients go home the day of surgery. Above all, we are experts in providing child-friendly care which attends to the emotional as well as the physical needs of children and their families.
