Craniofacial Center
The experts at the Pediatric Craniofacial Center treat all types of conditions affecting a child's face, head and neck, whether these conditions were present at birth or acquired later as the result of a traumatic event or a tumor. The most common issues include cleft lip, cleft palate and craniosynostosis syndromes, which involve the early fusing of one or more of the bones in the skull and face during fetal development.
We've been caring for patients since 1954, and our treatment combines the most advanced available surgical and therapeutic techniques with respectful and sensitive team care. Our relationship with our patients is quite extensive, often beginning before birth and continuing through childhood, adolescence and into adulthood.
Craniofacial conditions with their impact on appearance can have a profound effect on a child's ability to function both physically and socially. So we also work with specialists such as dentists, social workers, speech pathologists and dermatologists, to provide comprehensive treatment and rehabilitation. The team approach ensures that your child will have the best possible outcome and recovery.
