About the clinic

Care that grows with your child.

Cleft conditions need more than a single specialist — they need a coordinated team. Northern Nevada Cleft Clinic brings those specialists into one room, one visit, and one shared plan for each child.

Built on the experience of families who have lived this journey, our program is designed to be local, accessible, and continuous — so children across Northern Nevada and rural surrounding areas can receive the comprehensive care they deserve without leaving the region.

We are currently in the process of becoming approved by the American Cleft Palate Association (ACPA).
