Volunteerism and the assisting of the needy in developing countries is a major focus of all of the doctors in this practice.

He has also been a director of volunteer programs for the group “Healing the Children”. Both of these groups provide free care for patients with cleft lip, cleft palate and craniofacial deformities. The doctors participate in these programs on a regular basis and usually spend from 4 to 6 weeks per year in countries throughout Asia and Latin America. We are very proud of our staff and welcome all questions and comments with regard to their training and philosophy of health care.
