Overview

Overview

By combining energy and expertise of both primary adult and pediatric surgeons, Cleveland Clinic provides a wealth and depth of experience in managing rare and difficult deformities and tumors in childhood. We specialize in the management and reconstruction of complex and recurrent pediatric facial tumors using this unique multidisciplinary approach.

It is not uncommon to have four or more surgeons involved in these cases in order to produce the best outcomes in each facet of care. Surgeries often involve head and neck cancer surgeons, pediatric head and neck surgeons, neurosurgeons and facial plastic/microvascular surgeons working side by side. Our experience and skill with complex tumor removal and reconstruction in both adults and children allows us to employ these techniques aggressively to achieve durable cancer control and the best cosmetic and functional outcomes.

Cleveland Clinic Center for Facial Reconstruction and Facial Nerve Disorders offers consultations at Cleveland Clinic's main campus.

Phone: 216.445.9259
Email: FacialReconCenter@ccf.org

After you call to arrange an initial appointment with our team, one of our providers will reach out to you to perform a pre-visit intake. Please make arrangements to have copies of prior imaging, imaging reports, operative notes, laboratory studies, pathology reports, and consult notes available that you would like us to review prior to your appointment.

Virtual Visits

You can now stay connected to your healthcare team through virtual visits, using your smartphone, tablet or computer.

Why go virtual? It's an easy, convenient and secure way to see your provider face-to-face without having to leave home. This saves you travel time, parking fees and time spent in the waiting room — and you can also have a loved one or caregiver join you. If appropriate, you can also get a prescription sent to the pharmacy of your choice.

Many insurance companies cover the cost of virtual visits, so check with your insurance company ahead of time. Interested in getting started? Call your provider to find out what virtual visit options are available.

MyChart

A secure online tool connecting patients to their own health information from the privacy of their home.

The MyChart • Caregiver service, an optional feature in MyChart, allows you to view family members' records. When clicking on a particular name, you will access that family member's MyChart account.

Whether you have caregiver access over one family member or several, you can view this list in MyChart under “My Family’s Record.”
