    A native of Italy, I trained in plastic and reconstructive surgery at the University of Palermo before coming to the U.S., where I first completed three post-doctoral fellowships at USC, Harvard and Johns Hopkins, and then completed a full residency in plastic surgery at the Johns Hopkins and University of Maryland program. I graduated with an additional burn fellowship before continuing my education at the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital to focus on craniofacial and pediatric plastic surgery. There is nothing more daunting than seeing a child suffer or be in need and nothing more rewarding than caring for them and restoring their life and joy. When I was a child, a personal experience noting the sadness in a burned teenager made me want to help restoring happiness in people by treating their conditions and facial differences. For these reasons I decided to devote my life to the care of children. I am very passionate about the possibility to treat patients from head to toe, something that plastic surgery is uniquely poised to do. A special interest of mine is ear reconstruction, especially in microtia patients, for which I have developed a special device to aid in the cartilage cutting and carving process. I am also very interested in providing treatment to patients who have intractable migraines due to head concussions, a condition called occipital neuralgia, as I have seen how a simple surgery can truly free them from a debilitating condition. Cleft care and speech surgery are also two areas of focus of my practice, and in my free time I raise funds to help underserved areas abroad provide much needed cleft care. At work, I am keen in creating a cooperative workplace in which the focus is truly centered on excellence in patients’ care.My medical interests and expertise includes:Ear reconstructionMicrotia repairCauliflower ear treatmentProminent earsEar moldingOccipital neuralgiaBenign and malignant skin cancerOrthognathic surgeryCleft lip and cleft palate careSkull deformitiesHemifacial microsomiaCraniofacial syndromesVascular lesions and tumorsKeloid treatmentGeneral pediatric plastic surgery I consider every patient as if they were my own kids. I never take for granted the immense privilege parents give us in treating their child, and it is our duty to always perform at our best ability. I like to bring innovation in the operating room by finding novel solutions to old problems using the technologies that we are lucky to have to our disposal.

    What is the definition of Apert Syndrome?

    Apert syndrome is a genetic condition in which the seams between the skull bones close earlier than normal. This affects the shape of the head and face. Children with Apert syndrome often have deformities of the hands and feet as well.

    When should I see an Apert Syndrome doctor in Florida, US?

    There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as: 

    • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
    • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
    • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
    • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
    • You want a second opinion.  

    What should I consider when choosing an Apert Syndrome doctor in Florida, US?

    It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.  

    How does MediFind rank Apert Syndrome doctors in Florida, US?

    MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

    What types of insurance are accepted by Apert Syndrome doctors in Florida, US?

    Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network. 

    How can I book an appointment online with an Apert Syndrome doctor in Florida, US?

    MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile. If the schedule option is not available for a provider, tap the red “Show Phone Number” button on their profile to get their contact information. If you prefer to find providers who offer online scheduling, select “Schedules online” under the “Availability” category of the filter feature on the left side of the Apert Syndrome doctor search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Apert Syndrome doctor?

    Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.   

    How can I prepare for my appointment with an Apert Syndrome doctor in Florida, US?

    Prepare for your appointment by gathering the following items: 

    • Copies of medical records (dating back at least one year) 
    • Your medical history, including illnesses, medical conditions, surgeries, and other doctors you see 
    • Family history of disease 
    • List of current prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal remedies or supplements including names and doses 
    • Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.  
    • List of questions and concerns 
    • Your insurance card 

    You might also contact the provider’s office to see if they offer transportation or childcare services or if you’re allowed to bring a loved one for support or to take notes during your visit. 

    What questions should I ask my Apert Syndrome doctor?

    Here are some sample questions: 

    • Can you explain in simple terms what this condition is and how it’s treated? 
    • What symptoms or side effects should I watch for? 
    • What tests will be involved, and when can I expect results? 
    • Are there other specialists I need to see? 
    • What’s the best way to reach you if I have follow-up questions? 

    How can I learn about the latest clinical trials and research advances my Apert Syndrome doctor may know about?

    MediFind’s Clinical Trials tool asks you a series of questions to help you narrow down your search by health condition, age, gender, location, how far you’re willing to travel, and more. Each question you answer filters down the number of trials until you find the ones that are most relevant to you. 

    MediFind’s Latest Advances tool features summaries of recent articles published in medical journals. We use cutting-edge technology to scour medical publication databases for the latest research advancements on any given condition, then we simplify this information in a way that’s useful and easy to understand. 

    Can I filter my search to show male or female Apert Syndrome doctors in Florida, US?

    Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Apert Syndrome doctor search results page. Select “Female” or “Male” under the “Gender” category to search for female or male providers exclusively. If the “Any” option is selected, it will pull results for both male and female providers. 

    Can I filter my search to find an Apert Syndrome doctor that offers video calls?

    Look for the filter feature on the left-side of the Apert Syndrome doctor search results page. Select “Offers telehealth visits” under the Availability category to search for providers who offer virtual appointments (video calls).
