Conditions treated include but are not limited to:

• Cleft lip and palate
• Orthodontic needs
• Prominent ears
• Congenital nevi (moles)
• Vascular malformations and hemangiomas
• Hand surgery
• Breast surgery
• General reconstructive surgery

New patients receive a comprehensive examination to determine their conditions and evaluate their needs. After the visit, the findings and recommendations are communicated clearly to the family and primary care physician.

Advances in technology, including high-resolution ultrasonography and genetic testing, offer opportunities for diagnosis of some congenital problems even before birth. A prenatal consultation can help parents understand their child’s condition and treatment options, and clarify their expectations.
