Get to Know Me

Dr. Caterson works with ¿ì²¥³ÉÈËÍø, 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.
