When a child has a facial difference, the family often worries about the youngster's future and the challenges that lie ahead. A major source of concern for the family is how to identify the many care specialists needed to meet their child's individual needs.

The Craniofacial Center at Nicklaus Children's Hospital is committed to providing the best multidisciplinary care for children and families with craniofacial differences. The center provides treatment for many conditions including cleft lip and palate repair, repair of ear deformities, facial tumors, congenital defects, and Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome. The treatment complexity for these congenital and acquired anomalies requires a team of specialists. Our comprehensive team includes reconstructive and craniofacial surgeons, otolaryngologists (ENT), geneticists, audiologists, pathologists, orthodontists, and psychologists. These specialists work together to provide patients with comprehensive evaluations to treat and manage conditions while supporting the patient's family throughout their child's developmental stages.

The center's goal is to advance knowledge through education, community service and physician commitment. Through these efforts a family-centered environment and a Center of Excellence for the care of individuals with craniofacial difference is created.
