  • Me da gusto verlo Doctor David, bajo sus conocimientos y experiencia intervino a mi hijo KEVIN SAMUEL ARIAS ZEA, en Colombia- Huila -Neiva Hospital Universitario. Doy gracias a Dios por permitir que esa valiosa labor devuelvan la sonrisa y felicidad a mi hijo, Doctor David, a mi pequeño le fue muy bien, los resultados son sorprendentes. Los estamos esperando con los brazos abiertos para continuar con este proceso que apenas comienza.Gracias excelentisimo Doctor David Hoffman.

  • @gibsonguitarist55 damn i'm sorry. I've had about 8 surgeries to and i'm all good (; Hope ur next one is a success if not u should try Shriners in Portland their really good.

  • @velvetrevolver94 Are you a DICK

  • Just grow a mustache...hides that thing right up

  • i have s cleft palate and have had 8 surgeries but none of them were succesful

  • @bethanyleebumblebee your lucky to have got out of it so easily ive had 5 surgeries and so far it has barely gotten better

  • I had one as well. You've got a trained eye, you might be able to tell that I had it. Think goodness for technology and talented surgeons.

  • claudias1871, yeah i still have a problems with my speech. For example good, zigzag, and dig. So i am 28 yr. old now. Do you think i can still talk good? So what is the best remedy for this? i've been with operation but still i have speech defect. So please give me some help i want to be fixed. Thanks guys!

  • Hi Claudias,

    I was 8 months old when i had a soft palate repair. There is still a very tiny hole at the back that I cannot feel, but surgeons confirm is there. I live in Australia, and the government pay all costs of cleft palate repairs. I began speech therapy casually age 3 and finished at 13. No more lisp!

    Man Each child is different though, and if I had a child born with a cleft, I'd love them all the more!

    Just be conscious of any hearing difficulties, as this is linked to clefts.

  • bethanyleebumblebee i am really interested how old were you when you had your operation to fix the cleft palate and how much it cost and what kind of operation you got ?and tell me how old were you during your sessions with the therapist in the course of your life the reason i ask is because my child was born with a cleft palate and i want your experiences i rwould really apreciatted it thank you
