Testimonials
"The Charles Pinto Center maintains high standards of care and provide patients with the best possible service. I feel fortunate to have been a fellow here and closely observe their work. The maxillofacial department also provided me with good exposure to orthognathic surgeries. I would recommend this place, for anyone who has had a previous exposure to clefts and intends on pursuing it further. I thank ISAPS for providing me with this unique opportunity.”
