We offer a broad range of advanced medical approaches and specialized surgical services for congenital conditions and injuries requiring plastic reconstructive surgery in a compassionate and caring environment.
The timing of your child’s surgery and the number of surgeries necessary will depend on your child’s condition. Depending on your child’s situation, options may include surgery within the first year of life, delaying surgery or treatment over a series of surgeries.
