Plastic Surgeon

Will evaluate your child and determine what type of surgery is best for them and when it should take place. Input about speech and orthodontics help make these decisions.

FEEDING SPECIALIST

Can answer questions you have about feeding your child, such as which bottle is best and amount and frequency of feedings.

ORTHODONTIST

Monitors the development of your child’s teeth and plans phases of treatment that will align teeth and facilitate surgery to produce the best dental outcome. Orthodontic care is offered at our clinic.

SPEECH AND LANGUAGE PATHOLOGIST
