Conditions and Services

At the Stanford Medicine Children’s Health Cleft and Craniofacial Center, we provide surgical reconstruction and medical care for children who were born with or have developed a medical condition affecting the head or face. We provide a medical home for our patients and their families and offer family-centered treatment and support. Our multidisciplinary care team works together with each family to determine the most effective treatment plan for their child’s needs.
