University Heath System's Internationally recognized craniofacial specialists: Dr. Barone and Dr. Jimenez

Dr. David Jimenez and Dr. Constance Barone are the pioneers of the new minimally invasive procedures to correct craniosynostosis, Endoscopic Strip Craniectomy. Over the last eight years they have performed more than 300 craniosynostosis procedures, with excellent outcomes. Their expertise in the field has been published in several medical journals and professional publications.

Endoscopic Strip Craniectomy is a newer, less invasive craniosynostosis procedure that lasts approximately one hour compared to the three to seven hours of surgery required with the traditional craniosynostosis operation. Because the procedure is performed using endoscopes, patients have shorter hospital stays, decreased need for blood transfusions and significantly smaller incisions and scaring.
