Dr. Birgfeld grew up in Littleton Colorado where he played football and was an Academic All American swimmer.

After 2 years of research, he matriculated to the Medical College of Virginia where he met Dr. Isaac Wornom, a craniofacial and pediatric plastic surgeon. The experience of treating patients with craniofacial conditions while in medical school, led Craig to the University of Pennsylvania and the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), where he learned from world experts in craniofacial surgery.

This surgical training led to Seattle, where Dr. Birgfeld spent a year fellowship with Dr.’s Gruss and Hopper learning the techniques of craniofacial surgery.
