Stony Brook Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Center offers specialized care at Stony Brook Children's Hospital for children of all ages born with cleft lip/palate abnormalities affecting the head and face. One child in approximately 700 is born with a facial cleft. Although most children come to us as newborns, we provide care for children of all ages born with cleft lip/palate and other craniofacial defects. These children and their families are best cared for by a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals to ensure that the physical and emotional needs of the child and family are met.
