May 19th Under the Big Top Gala

Join us on May 19th for the Under the Big Top Gala benefiting Cronin & Brauer Cleft Lip and Palate Clinic/Operation San José. More details.

Services

Through medical and surgical intervention, patients with cleft palate and craniofacial anomalies can improve their physical condition and look forward to a brighter, healthier future. Whether the deformities of a patient are congenital or acquired, and whether the patient is a child or an adult, the Cronin & Brauer clinic offers the highest standard of multidisciplinary care and treatment.

The clinic provides treatment for patients with

• Congenital cranial and facial deformities, such as cleft lip/palate
• Traumatic facial disfigurement incurred through injury or surgery
• Developmental distortion from excessive or restricted growth of facial parts, such as the upper and lower jaw

Since 1983, a dedicated team of Cronin & Brauer volunteers has made annual trips to Central and South America to provide free surgical repair of cranial and facial birth defects as part of “Operation San José.”
