Founded in 1959, Montefiore's Craniofacial Surgery Program has established a reputation as one of the most prestigious in the world, thanks to our pioneering care for children with defects and deformities of the head and neck. Our exceptional multi-disciplinary team of specialists has helped thousands of children born with birth anomalies, complex craniofacial tumors, and post-traumatic craniofacial deformities. We earned the unique honor of completing the world's first totally successful separation of twins joined at the head. Our staff is devoted to providing careful attention to each child's medical needs, while offering family-centered care that empowers each child's extended care network and helps the entire family to enjoy the highest quality outcome possible.
