Dr. Jeffrey Bassman answered

Specializes in Dentistry

Options: Normally a plastic surgeon or an ENT Dr. There are also oral surgeons. There are probably other options out there, but I would go with a surgeon who does many of these procedures

Cleft lip: it would be an oral,surgeon that would do the repair of a cleft lip or palate. They would be working with a team of ENTs, pediatric specialists and others to treat this.
