Jesse Taylor

Jesse is Chief of the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the world-renowned Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and a specialist and key opinion leader in the treatment of children and adolescents with congenital and acquired differences of the face and skull. Jesse founded Ostiio out of a deep frustration with surgical options for craniofacial disease and an intense desire to improve patient outcomes and experience for these children and their families. He is passionate about developing and using innovative surgical techniques and treatment strategies to optimize results for his patients – he is a pioneer in the use of distraction osteogenesis to treat impaired growth of the craniomaxillofacial skeleton. Jesse enjoys lecturing both nationally and internationally to educate surgeons about the latest techniques in craniofacial surgery. His research is regularly presented at major conferences and widely published in peer-reviewed journals.

Jesse holds an MD from Vanderbilt University. He completed Plastic Surgery Residency at Johns Hopkins University and his Craniofacial Fellowship at the Hospital Gea Gonzalez in Mexico City, Mexico under the guidance of craniofacial-pioneer Dr. Fernando Ortiz-Monasterio. He has a BA in Biology from Washington and Lee University.
