Congenital anomalies occur in infants and warrant surgical correction.

There are infinite anomalies, but               here are only a sample
of those Dr. Wilson treated. The best results are obtained by the very early treatment of these anomalies, so that they grow with the infant after being repaired. In addition, the earlier the treatment the more inconspicuous the resulting scar, so much so that Dr. Wilson repairs clefts of the lip at an age of 7 days! There is a wide range of congenital anomalies, and Dr. Wilson enjoys tackling the challenge offered by each individual situation.
