Who we are
The Cleft Team
The combined efforts of many specialists are needed to treat clefts of the lip and palate successfully. We believe that the team approach ensures the best possible care for our patients.
The Cleft Lip and Palate Team at The Hospital for Sick Children are dedicated to the care of children with this condition. We continue to strive for excellence in treatment. Our team meets regularly to develop a treatment plan for your child, and to ensure that your child receives the most effective care available. Our goal is to ensure that each child develops to the best of his or her potential.
