Phoenix Children's opened the new Center for Cleft and Craniofacial Care, adding nine providers who specialize in this form of care.
They are joining the center from Barrow Neurological Institute's Cleft and Craniofacial Center in Phoenix.
"Phoenix Children's clinicians have worked side-by-side with this cleft and craniofacial team for many years," Daniel Ostlie, MD, surgeon in chief at Phoenix Children's, said in a Dec. 19 press release. "Not only will their addition to the Phoenix Children's Medical Group deepen our expertise, but they'll enable us to serve more children in need of complex care."
The providers at the center include plastic surgeons, craniofacial orthodontists, clinical geneticists, speech and language pathologists and other pediatric specialists.
The center will be led by Davinder Singh, MD, division chief of plastic surgery at Phoenix Children's. She is supported by co-directors Patricial Beals, DMD, a craniofacial orthodontist; and Kelly Cordero, PhD, a speech-language pathologist.
