The great news is that a highly-skilled surgeon like Dr. Bonilla can help children by repairing their microtia, as well as improve their hearing loss so that they may lead full, healthy lives.
Dr. Bonilla has developed special techniques that have resulted in excellent outcomes for children with microtia and atresia.
