The Seattle Children’s Hospital Craniofacial Center specializes in the treatment of cleft lip and palate, craniosynostosis, craniofacial microsomia, and other complex craniofacial conditions. Under the leadership of Dr. Michael Cunningham, medical director, and Dr. Richard Hopper, surgical director, the center has become the most comprehensive craniofacial center in North America. This multidisciplinary craniofacial team of over 50 healthcare providers and staff from 14 specialty areas provide all aspects of care to children with craniofacial conditions.
Each child who comes to the center is assigned to a craniofacial pediatrician, who coordinates the care provided by the team specialists and tailors a plan to address each child's needs. Innovative surgical procedures in the context of comprehensive and holistic care enable these physicians, dentists and allied health specialists to address even the most serious and complex craniofacial abnormalities, and to provide the benefits of improved health for an increasing number of children. Our primary service is to patients in the WAMI region (Washington, Alaska, Montana, and Idaho) however, we are now caring for national and international patients through our Destination Program.
The responsibilities of the craniofacial pediatrician include direct patient care in an interdisciplinary clinic, care coordination, intake clinic for new patients and on call coverage of craniofacial medicine inpatients.
