If your child has a cleft lip or palate, or other craniofacial condition, we can help. The first step is to contact our office and schedule an initial evaluation. This initial evaluation will help us to discover your child's needs; help you with specific issues, such as feeding; and to begin to chart a course for the future.

The optimal time for this appointment is within your child's first few weeks of life. Your child and family will be seen at frequent intervals through any treatment, and then on an annual or semi-annual basis thereafter.
