Choosing Children’s National for Cleft and Craniofacial Care
When your child needs reconstructive surgery for a congenital deformity or other physical abnormality, our pediatric plastic surgeons are uniquely qualified to care for the psychological and physical needs of young patients.
Children’s National has three full-time pediatric plastic surgeons. Our pediatric plastic surgeons are part of the few surgeons nationwide that dedicate their entire practice to care for children.
Children with cleft and craniofacial differences often have multiple problems that require the expertise of several specialists. Our world-class, multi-specialty care team is located in one place, so you and your child can see many doctors all in one convenient appointment.
Through coordinated treatment with our multidisciplinary team, we ensure that our patients receive well-rounded care that ensures their optimal growth and development.
