Services our craniofacial and plastic surgeons provide
Craniofacial disorders may be congenital or acquired, and affect a child's skull and face. Craniofacial disorders have various causes, and it is likely many factors played a role instead of one cause. Anomalies acquired after birth are usually the result of accidents that cause extensive craniofacial trauma or jaw deformities.
At The Cleft Palate/Craniofacial Clinic, we offer one of the leading treatment programs for these disorders in the U.S. Our team of physicians is dedicated to transforming the lives of infants and children with congenital anomalies by using advanced technologies and innovative surgical techniques.
