Cleft Lip & Palate ReconstructionDrs.
Kelly and Herman perform Cleft lip and palate surgery for children and adults
afflicted with this congenital deformity. They both have extensive experience
treating these deformities. Dr. Kelly trained with Dr. Ralph Millard, the
"father" of modern cleft lip surgery. He also is a founding member of
the Miami Children’s Hospital Craniofacial Center. Dr. Herman travels the
globe performing these surgeries as part of Operation Smile. He performs these
operations in areas where no health care is available literally transforming the
affected child’s life. In newborns, surgery usually begins at 3 months of
age and the goal is to have all surgeries completed by the child’s first birthday. Please
contact our office for additional information about Cleft Lip and Palate surgery. |
