Parent Reviews
*He was caring, attentive and personable. And he did a fantastic job.
*As well as our surgeon, we met with a cleft nurse, speech therapist, psychologist and dentist (all together over three meetings) This was all arranged for us and the first meeting took place when I was pregnant (soon after diagnosis). It was wonderful to know that such an experienced team of professionals was available for us to call upon.
