Children from birth to age 21 with congenital and acquired conditions that require reconstructive plastic surgery can now stay close to home for treatment. Wellington Davis III, MD, has joined Lehigh Valley Reilly Children’s Hospital as its first pediatric plastic surgeon.

“It’s a big change and I’m excited to be here,” says Davis, who practiced at St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children in Philadelphia for the past 12 years.

Davis completed his plastic and reconstructive surgery residency at Loyola University Medical Center in Chicago and his fellowship in craniofacial surgery at Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne, Australia.

Davis will be seeing patients at Lehigh Valley Hospital–Cedar Crest in Allentown, and at the Health Center at Richland Township in Quakertown.
