We believe that children born with a cleft lip and cleft palate are just like everybody else, but the normal process of development did not quite finish.
It is our team’s opportunity and responsibility to finish this process.
Established in 2013, our entire team is board-certified in their respected fields.
Over the years, we have taken care of children who now have children of her own and live very normal lives, having graduated from high school and attended college.
We are Idaho’s first, largest and most comprehensive ACPA approved cleft lip and palate team
(One of only 205 teams in Canada and the United States, and the most experienced team here in Idaho.)
