Neonatal surgery
Dr Orford has worked with the youngest of patients, with many years experience of neonatal surgery; where the patients are newborns. She often carries out tongue tie surgery, which can help when the condition is affecting the ability to breastfeed, or can be carried out in older children where it’s affecting speech or eating.
Some surgical procedures need to be carried out as young as possible, and while this can be upsetting for parents, it’s reassuring to have a specialist like Dr Jill Orford to perform the surgery. This could be due to congenital anomalies, or other issues that are present at birth. Antenatal counseling is offered to discuss your baby’s options for surgery, and to talk through how and when the procedure should be carried out.

You can enjoy peace of mind knowing the surgery will be carried out by a highly qualified paediatric surgeon with years of experience.
