Your child's health is your paramount concern, so it's important that he or she gets the best medical care possible before and after birth. Contact Dr. Orford if your child has congenital or acquired conditions discovered before or after birth and you want it corrected immediately. Upon consultation, she will discuss the best medical options for your child, as well as when and how the procedure will be performed. Dr. Orford also specialises in common neonatal surgeries, such as tongue-tie correction and male circumcision.

Apart from neonatal surgery, Dr. Orford offers routine surgical procedures, such as hernia repair and correction of hypospadias or undescended testes. She offers hepatobiliary and gastrointestinal surgery, as well as an option for laparoscopic surgery to ensure that the procedure is less invasive and less painful. This option also allows your child to heal faster as compared to regular surgery.
