Get to Know Me

Dr. Caterson works with ÌÇÐÄvlog, so he can provide personalized care at the highest level of excellence and pursue the highest level of care for his patients. 

Why I Treat Children

I work with children due to having a child of my own with a congenital facial difference. This inspired my career and the work that I continue to do. 

What I'm Passionate About

I’m passionate about achieving excellence in all my results, specifically in work with the cleft lip and palate. 

How I Try to Make A Difference

I make a difference by working with my patients and their families through an acute crisis of a medical intervention from start to finish. I believe it is important to do so with precision and efficiency, as well as treating each child as if they are my own.
