Dr James Seaward

I am a Pediatric Plastic and Craniofacial surgeon at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Texas, specializing in cleft lip and palate, cleft palate related speech problems and vascular anomalies. My clinical practice is exclusively pediatric and is based at Children's Medical Center, Dallas.

Children born with a cleft often need care from birth to adulthood, with several operations during that time, and involvement of multiple health care providers. I am proud to offer my patients care within a American Cleft Palate - Craniofacial Association accredited Team. This approach allows families to see the different providers involved in the care of their child at one clinic visit and allows us to coordinate and optimize your child's care together. 

I am creating information videos for families on various aspects of the conditions I treat. For videos on cleft lip and palate related speech difficulties please look here, and here for vascular anomalies.
