Dedicated pediatric specialists

Our pediatric plastic surgeons have vast experience treating the full spectrum of plastic surgical problems in pediatrics and adolescents — from the routine to the rare. Our team members have the highly specialized knowledge needed to perform surgery on children and adolescents who are still growing.

Expert diagnosis

We use state-of-the-art diagnostic tools. We know that receiving a diagnosis is an important step toward feeling you are in control of what your child is experiencing. Accurate diagnosis guides your child's treatment plan and ensures that your child receives individualized care.

Psychosocial support for kids with appearance differences

Having a congenital or acquired appearance difference can create many challenges for children and their families. Our dedicated clinical psychologist and social worker are here to help you overcome these challenges and maximize your child’s well-being at home, at school and in your community.

These professionals work with children, adolescents and their families to address psychosocial concerns before and after surgery and throughout the entire treatment process. The support they offer is a vital part of the care we provide.

Innovation and research

We are a leader in pediatric plastic surgery research, committed to finding innovative surgical therapies, devices and techniques that will expand the treatment options available to children. Our goal is to improve outcomes, both physical and psychological, for children with facial and body differences.

Our cutting-edge Center for Craniofacial Innovation focuses on the genetic causes and possible treatment paths for craniofacial conditions. We connect that data to clinical information as a way to guide treatments. The result is highly personalized medicine. The center is also developing better surgical devices, using new materials, that work better for children.

A family-focused team

Together, our plastic surgeons, orthodontists, nurse practitioners, registered nurses and psychologists will give your entire family the highest level of support. We will be here for you every step of the way.
