Departments / Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery / Craniofacial Center The University Hospital Craniofacial Center of New Jersey The University Hospital Craniofacial Center of New Jersey was formed to provide state of the art care for children and adults afflicted with craniofacial disorders. Our center is based out of UMDNJ - University Hospital, the largest academic tertiary care medical center in the State of New Jersey. The treatment of Craniofacial Syndromes (for example, cleft lip/palate, Crouzon's syndrome, Apert's Syndrome) requires a multidisciplinary approach. As such, the New Jersey Cleft and Craniofacial Center is comprised of specialists from multiple areas of expertise. The center meets on the third Wednesday of every month, at which time patients referred to the center are evaluated and a treatment plan developed. Further information and appointments to the University Hospital Craniofacial Center of New Jersey may be obtained by calling 973-972-1985 or email the Centers Administrator: Nadra Micheaux, micheanj@umdnj.edu. Disciplines involved in the Center:
