Dr. Joe Herbert Examining Carlos

Each child is thoroughly examined by volunteer pediatrician Dr. Joe Herbert immediately prior to surgery to ensure that they are healthy and it is safe to put them under general anesthesia. Having this procedure at such a young age will make a big difference in Carlos’ speech when he learns to talk.

Ronald McDonald House Charities has generously sponsored this Interplast surgical team trip, and it is because of their vision that children like Carlos will go on to lead normal, happy lives.
