Driscoll Children’s
Craniofacial and Cleft Center is dedicated to
providing state-of–the-art, comprehensive
craniofacial and cleft care to the children and
adults of Texas and the world. Strategically located
in beautiful Corpus Christi, Texas, the Driscoll
Children’s Craniofacial and Cleft Center
is the only facility of its kind in South Texas.
The Center and its staff of experts work diligently
to provide early diagnoses, compassionate care
and holistic management to patients who present
to our Center with congenital and/or acquired
anomalies of the face and craniofacial region.
Focused on excellence, the Center and its staff
embrace the internationally recognized and accepted
treatment parameters put forth by the American
Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Association (ACPA),
yet we never lose sight of the patient as a unique
individual. We appreciate the fact that as children
grow and develop, their problems and needs also
change. Recognizing this, we are determined to
change and adapt with you. At the Driscoll Center,
we design an individualized treatment plan just
for you. Since our primary focus is the treatment
of complex facial anomalies, such as cleft lip
and palate, and/or syndrome based issues, you
can be assured that your treatment plan will incorporate
the most up-to-date techniques available.
Committed to the whole child,
the Craniofacial Center experts are attuned to
the physical and emotional well-being of their
patients. Working with each patient, we provide
tailored and coordinated services designed to
enhance you and your child. We believe that paying
attention to details such as dentofacial and orthodontic
anomalies, feeding difficulties, speech and hearing
problems and social adjustment concerns is part
and parcel to comprehensive care.
In 1997, the U.S. Surgeon General’s Report
on Children with Special Needs mandated comprehensive,
coordinated, culturally sensitive, specific, and
readily accessible care for all special needs
children. We at the Driscoll Children’s
Craniofacial and Cleft Center subscribe to the
same philosophy as well as to the Team Standards
set out by the ACPA. We realize the importance
and impact of our care. Thus, we at the Center
embrace the credo that: To
Change a Child’s Face is to Change a Child’s
Life.
