About the El Paso Children’s Hospital Cranial and Facial Program:
The Cranial and Facial Clinic at El Paso Children’s Hospital is the first and only comprehensive pediatric cranial and facial program in the region that provides children in the greater El Paso area access to a dedicated multidisciplinary team of physicians skilled in correcting facial, jaw, and skull abnormalities. It is the only Cranial and Facial Team in the region to be nationally recognized by the American Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Association. It is no longer necessary for families to bear the burden of traveling outside of the region to access this service, and our team provides family-centered, compassionate care you’ve come to expect from a dedicated children’s hospital.

Our multidisciplinary team is made up of cleft and craniofacial surgeons, neurosurgeons, pediatric hospitalists, dentists, orthodontists, psychologists, nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech language pathologists, registered dieticians, child life specialists and social workers. While we have a full range of additional specialists ready to treat patients, we customize a plan of care for each child and enlist the help of these specialists on a case-by-case basis.

The Cranial and Facial Clinic at El Paso Children’s Hospital is the first of its kind in our region and the only one that provides complete care from the time of diagnosis through surgery and beyond.
