What to Expect at Your Visit

Our staff is committed to provide the best possible care for children with cleft lip and palate. Specialists from many different disciplines work together as a team to treat your child’s condition. Some of the specialists include a plastic surgeon, oral surgeon, orthodontist, otolaryngologist (ENT), speech therapist, nurse practitioner, audiologist, geneticist, and psychologist.

All patients must be accompanied by a parent or guardian for the initial evaluation. Guardians who are not biological parents need to present legal documentation or proof of guardianship.
