Getting here

Please plan to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to your appointment. Traffic and parking in the Longwood Medical Area can be difficult and time-consuming. Please take this into account when you leave for your visit. Parking is available in the Boston Children's Parking Garage at a discounted rate with a validated ticket.

Check in

When you arrive, check in at the front desk. There, one of our staff will verify your personal information and collect the copayment for your visit.

You will meet with several members of the Cleft Lip and Palate team during your visit. Specialists may include:
