Children born with a cleft lip and palate suffer from a congenital deformity that can severely impact their ability to eat, speak, hear or even breathe. Clefts create terrible stigmas and cause emotional distress and other developmental problems, interfering with learning and social interactions. Dr. Alicia Sigler has been committed to helping these children and their families regain their lives since doing her residency training when she saw the large number of patients needing treatment from across Mexico. For the past twenty years, Dr. Sigler has worked with organizations on both sides of the border and donated countless hours and nearly two thousand no-cost surgeries to making it possible for her patients to adapt to society, interact with their peers, attend school, find good jobs and ultimately have their own families.
As director of the multidisciplinary team working with cleft palate patients at the Shriners organization in Tijuana and a volunteer surgeon at the Government Health Center in Ensenada, Dr. Sigler is part of a skilled network of health professionals who make up a comprehensive cleft management team addressing hundreds of cases each year and making a positive impact that is felt lifelong throughout families and society.
