Craig's Success Story


Generic image that says success story

Published on: 01/09/2012

“In January 2005, Craig Jr. (CJ) was born two months early with an abnormality called craniosynostosis that made the sutures on his head fuse prematurely. Dr. Anthony Wolfe performed corrective surgery in August 2005, and today CJ is a healthy intelligent boy, almost 5 years old. Our family is grateful to all the staff at Nicklaus Children's Hospital for their kindness and professionalism. Dr. Wolfe is a man of few words but his actions speak for themselves.”
