Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery

Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery Clinic

At the Pediatric Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery Clinic, we treat children who have developmental abnormalities and birth defects in the head and face, neck, hands, or lips and palate. Conditions like these affect your child's appearance and the way the body works, so you want to involve not only the most experienced pediatric reconstruction surgeons but also a hospital with a comprehensive rehabilitation unit. Specializing in corrective surgery for cranio-maxillofacial surgery and hand and microsurgery, we're also one of Northern California's leading pediatric centers for the treatment and repair of congenital anomalies and reconstruction following acute trauma.

Because these abnormalities can have a profound effect on your child's ability to function both physically and socially, we also work with dentists, social workers, speech pathologists and dermatologists during treatment and rehabilitation – a comprehensive team approach aimed at giving your child the best possible results.
