Help!! 1 week old granddaughter is in need of early cleft lip and palate repair. My daughter is all to pieces. A nurse at the hospital recommended Dr's at the King's Daughter's Hosp. in Norfolk, Va. We live in SC. Do you know of any excellent physicians in SC or NC that would follow the same type of procedures (early intervention) that is closer. If not should we just set our sail toward Norfolk, VA.? Please advise!! We want the best for our baby. email threenone@chestertel.com Thank you!!!!
I don't know of any, but you can call Cleftline at 1-800-24-CLEFT. They are really helpful and should be able to help point you in the right direction .

I suggested to those people to contact the Cleftline webaite in an E-mail that I sent to them last night. I think that Cleftline is very helpful and I would reccomend them to anyone who needs to deal with a cleft. Jeff Alterman at alterman@bestweb.net
