We are so proud of Dr. Kelley, who is volunteering this week to perform cleft lip and palate repairs, as well as cleft revision surgery. Since Dr. Kelley arrived in Austin, TX he has continually been involved with Austin Smiles surgical missions and Camp Amigo!

Craniofacial Team of Texas Philosophy

Craniofacial Team of Texas Coordinator, Chelsea Combs PA-C

Our philosophy at the Craniofacial Team of Texas is to treat our patients and their families like they are family. We know that it can be extremely stressful when a child needs surgery. We will take the time to explain why surgery is needed and what to expect. You can rely on our years of experience taking care of children and their families!
