Craniofacial Center

As one of the country's first and leading craniofacial centers, the Craniofacial Center at CHAM attracts patients from around the country and abroad, offering patients access to internationally recognized physicians and our highly skilled multidisciplinary team, a range of leading-edge advancements in craniofacial care and information to put both parents and children at ease. The Craniofacial Center’s team of specialists is among the most recognized and respected in the world. They’ve helped thousands of children born with birth anomalies, complex craniofacial tumors and post-traumatic craniofacial deformities. 

Though renowned as medical innovators, our team is equally respected for careful attention to each child's medical needs, family-centered care that empowers and helps both parents and child, and producing the highest quality outcomes possible. The physicians on our team have earned several unique honors, including: 

• James T. Goodrich, MD, PhD, led the team that received international acclaim for successfully separating Carl and Clarence Aguirre, twins conjoined at the head.
• Dr. Oren Tepper, MD, recently completed the fourth and final surgery of Saribel Rodriguez (a prospective Miss New York contestant)  here at the Craniofacial Center.
• Evan Garfein, MD, is a renowned plastic and reconstructive surgeon, specializing in lower extremity, head, neck and breast reconstruction. He employs virtual technology to print 3-D models of patients for advance surgical planning. He also provides aesthetic surgery of the face, breasts and abdomen.

Our specialists have helped us to become one of the most respected craniofacial programs in the world, thanks to the pioneering care they provide for children with defects and deformities of the head and neck.
