Cleft and Craniofacial Center
Carilion Clinic’s Cleft and Craniofacial Center includes a team of pediatric specialists from many different disciplines who treat children with congenital defect conditions and other complex medical needs.
Coordination of Care
Cleft lip and palate are openings or splits in the upper lip or roof of the mouth (palate). Children born with cleft lip, cleft palate or other craniofacial anomalies may have multiple conditions that require a team of specialists to coordinate care.
Carilion's Cleft and Craniofacial Center offers convenient access to pediatric experts in neurosurgery, otolaryngology (ear, nose and throat), plastic and reconstructive surgery, audiology, medical genetics, pediatric dentistry, orthodontics, oral surgery, pediatric behavioral health, ophthalmology and speech therapy. We carefully coordinate procedures for your child to maximize the desired outcome and limit the number of operations needed.
To make an appointment, contact our clinical coordinator Jessie Rose, RN, at 540-613-7200.
Our Approach
Carilion's Cleft and Craniofacial Center is an American Cleft Palate Craniofacial Association (ACPA)-approved team.
This multidisciplinary team, led by James Thompson, MD, carefully coordinates the procedures for each child to maximize the desired outcome and limit the number of operations needed.
Once your child’s condition is diagnosed, we develop an individualized plan based on the ideal time to do each repair and your child’s growth and development. This team approach not only provides optimal care for your child, but it also addresses family, social, emotional, psychological and educational needs.
