Team Approach

The Barrow Craniofacial Center, located in Phoenix, Arizona, is one of the only centers in the United States that offers a team-oriented approach to craniofacial care. Barrow Craniofacial Center's multidisciplinary team of caring professionals includes developmental pediatricians, geneticists, plastic and reconstructive surgeons, neurosurgeons, otolaryngologists, dentists, craniofacial physical therapists, and speech pathologists, among other specialists.

These experts work one-on-one with the referring physician and family to develop the best possible outcome for patients of all ages—from tiny infants to adults. Barrow's specialists understand how to treat the complexities associated with craniofacial disorders and are extremely sensitive to the personal nature of these conditions. The members of the Barrow craniofacial team comfort patients and focus their attention on life-altering, positive outcomes.
