Hope For My Child’s Future...
“When I first saw Eddie’s face, words can’t describe the devastation I
felt. Hope for my child’s future was replaced by a feeling of
powerlessness. How could we protect him from the pain he would find?”
“The Little Baby Face has given Eddie a beautiful face and given us hope
for his future. Thank you, thank you, thank you...”

The team consults on each child and coordinates surgeries to minimize the invasiveness and number of surgeries. When possible, multiple procedures are completed in single surgeries to reduce the number of times a child has to be hospitalized. The team is working on establishing protocols for this innovative approach that can be shared with other physicians.
