Our team features plastic surgeons, who have special expertise in craniofacial procedures, treat growing bodies that need repairs or reconstruction for a wide variety of reasons. Key parts of our program are the oral cleft clinic and our craniosynostosis clinic, which treat children with cleft lip and palate or craniosynostosis in one central location. To achieve the best results, we provide coordinated team solutions based on the individual needs of the child and his or her family, including making recommendations to parents, caregivers, medical providers and school staff.
Our experienced pediatric doctors and specialists are ready to serve you and your family.
The very conditions that can be helped by plastic surgery often cause emotional discomfort and impair self-confidence, which is why we treat every patient with respect and warmth. Our comprehensive care specialties include, but are not limited to:
A cleft lip or palate impacts your little one's smile and functional priorities, too. The good news is world-recognized corrective techniques were pioneered by our plastic surgeons. Here, your child’s plan is one-of-a-kind. Because of this meticulous "only you" philosophy and our advanced skills, your child can enjoy greater success now, with fewer follow-up procedures later. We can restore your child's beautiful smile and speech for a confident future.
When the roof of the mouth (palate) and lip don’t fully develop in the womb, a gap may remain. This is called a cleft lip and/or palate. It affects every function of the face except sight. Eating, hearing, talking, smelling and tasting are all compromised when this condition isn’t treated well. Our unique approach makes it possible to have complete repair.
We know that appearance and clear speech are important for your child’s self-esteem and interactions with others. Our multidisciplinary team will also provide support with aspects of breathing, feeding, hearing and oral care. We’ve helped thousands of children born with simple and complex forms of this condition.
Others use a single pattern to repair the problem for all children. Not us. We create a one-of-a-kind pattern to fit your child’s facial structure, for the best results in the fewest surgeries. Most babies begin the process at between nine and 12 months.
We lead in the field by developing new approaches for greater success in both cleft lip and cleft palate repair. It's our privilege to help your child put his or her best face forward, for life.

To help improve outcomes, our experts use virtual surgery planning and partner with other pediatric specialists to coordinate care, including otolaryngology (ENT), oral surgery, orthodontics, dentistry, neurosurgery, audiology, genetics, psychology and nutrition. We also work with postoperative specialties, including prosthetics and speech and language pathology. Together our work can play a significant role in a child’s journey.
