Overview

Mission

Nextgenface promotes education and public awareness of facial differences and provides support for families and patients with craniofacial conditions by identifying and collaborating with medical, surgical, and psychosocial specialists.

What it reported doing in 2025

Nextgen face, inc ("ngf") seeks to ease the tremendous burden placed on families with children with craniofacial conditions by assisting them in identifying a comprehensive and coordinated approach to treatment. The ngf team confers with patients and their families to identify their unique medical, surgical, and psychosocial needs then assists them in identifying experts in the following fields: craniofacial surgery, plastic and reconstructive surgery oral and maxillofacial surgery, ear, nose and throat treatment, dental and orthodontic care. Ngf assigns an experienced and caring staff member to provide information on relevant services and refers the family to a team of internationally recognized physicians at lenox hill hospital. Our physicians are leaders in their field and are committed to delivering state of the art care in craniofacial surgery. Lenox hill hospital is part of northwell health, the largest provider of medical services in New York state, offering ngf patients the full range of medical services. Ngf also identifies social workers, psychologists and speech therapists with expertise working with patients of all ages with craniofacial conditions who will guide patients and their families through the entire treatment protocol which includes pre and post surgical support and may continue for years. Ngf hosts family support groups as well as other social networking activities to foster a sense of community to help patients and their families navigate their journey. While ngf focuses mainly on young children and their families, ngf does serve patients of all ages. Patients with craniofacial conditions often require care beyond their childhood years and oftentimes patients may present themselves after a traumatic injury or cancer diagnosis. Ngf serves patients from around the globe as a virtual advisory center with a coordination team located in New York city.
