Camille, At Geisinger Medical Center in Danville PA this is a plastic surgeon, Thomas Bitterly MD, who I found to be pro-breastfeeding. In a one hour lecture on cleft palate I heard him say about 3 times that breastfed babies heal faster following surgery. You could try the hospital's main number 570-271-6211. You should at least be able to leave a message for him.
