It's a privilege to practice pediatric craniofacial plastic surgery, which allows me to dramatically improve the quality of my patients' lives and watch them grow from infancy into adulthood. Whether it be a solitary congenital nevus, cleft lip or palate, abnormal head shape, or complex syndromic craniosynostosis, I take a patient and family focused/driven approach to treatment. This tailored care is only possible in collaboration with the other outstanding members of the craniofacial team.
