Quote from Dr. Salyer
December 17, 2008 by admin
Nothing is more important in my life than taking care of patients with craniofacial and cleft deformities and giving them a chance to live happy, productive and successful lives.
During the twenty-five years I have operated on patients with craniofaical and cleft deformities, I have had the unique opportunity to witness the courage and fortitude of not only the patients, but also their parents and families. I have been blessed to be able to get to know them and to help them during their years of struggle and suffering. My good fortune has provided me the skills to help these patients and their families.
