Dr. Thomas Romo III

President, Founder & Medical Director

Dr. Thomas Romo III, MD, FACS, is a Double Board-Certified facial plastic surgeon with over thirty years of experience in reconstructive surgery. As the Director of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at both Lenox Hill Hospital and Manhattan Eye, Ear, and Throat Hospital (MEETH) in New York City, Dr. Romo has built a reputation as one of the top facial plastic surgeons in the world. He has published widely on various topics within the field of reconstructive surgery and frequently speaks at national and international conferences.

Early in his career, Dr. Romo attended annual mission trips to Russia, Central, and South America to perform life-changing facial reconstructive surgery on children lacking access to healthcare. While driven by the impact of this work, he grew frustrated by the limited services he could offer patients and the lack of opportunity for follow-up care. In response, Dr. Romo embarked on a mission to address these limitations and provide facial reconstructive surgery and complete, comprehensive care for children in need.

In 2003, Dr. Romo established the Little Baby Face Foundation to address these limitations and provide complete, comprehensive care to children in need.

Thank you, Dr. Romo!
