Chad Purnell, M.D., is a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in craniofacial surgery and microsurgery. He is passionate about the care of children with craniofacial disorders, including cleft lip and palate, craniosynostosis, craniofacial (hemifacial) microsomia, Crouzon, Apert, Pfeiffer, and Treacher-Collins syndromes. After rotating at Shriners Children's Chicago during his training, he knew immediately that he wanted to spend his career there. He was drawn to the fact that Shriners Children's provides optimal care of craniofacial disorders without concerns for a child's ability to pay. Some of his specialties include jaw (orthognathic) surgery, eyelid and orbital reconstruction, and midface and mandible distraction.
