Jeffrey Hammoudeh

Dr. Jeffrey Hammoudeh, MD, DDS, FACS, is a distinguished dual board-certified surgeon in both oral and maxillofacial surgery and plastic surgery, with a specialized focus on craniofacial and pediatric reconstructive procedures. Based in Glendale, California, his practice is recognized for its advanced surgical techniques and compassionate, patient-centered care, particularly for individuals with complex facial and jaw conditions.

Dr. Hammoudeh’s extensive training includes dual doctorates in medicine and dentistry from Northwestern University, followed by surgical residencies at prestigious institutions such as Massachusetts General Hospital (Harvard Program), the University of Miami, and a fellowship in pediatric plastic and craniofacial surgery at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. His academic and clinical background positions him among a select group of surgeons in the United States with this level of expertise.

One of the core services offered at his Glendale practice is orthognathic surgery, which involves the correction of jaw misalignments such as overbites, underbites, and crossbites. Dr. Hammoudeh is one of the few surgeons in the country who utilizes the “surgery first” technique—performing corrective jaw surgery before orthodontic treatment. This approach can significantly reduce treatment time and improve functional and aesthetic outcomes. Using advanced computer-aided surgical planning and 3D modeling, patients are able to visualize their expected results before undergoing surgery.

Dr. Hammoudeh also specializes in craniofacial surgery, addressing congenital and acquired deformities of the skull and face. His work includes neonatal cleft lip repair, distraction osteogenesis, and complex reconstructions for children and adults. His leadership in this field is evident through his role as Associate Chief of the Division of Plastic and Maxillofacial Surgery at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and his faculty appointments at the Keck School of Medicine and the USC School of Dentistry.

Another significant area of expertise is maxillofacial oncology, where Dr. Hammoudeh provides comprehensive care for patients with jaw tumors and cancers. His approach includes diagnosis, surgical resection, and reconstructive procedures aimed at restoring both function and appearance. He is known for his ability to manage these complex cases from initial evaluation through rehabilitation.

For patients suffering from obstructive sleep apnea, Dr. Hammoudeh offers maxillary and mandibular advancement surgery. This procedure moves the upper and lower jaws forward to increase airway space, often eliminating the need for CPAP devices and significantly improving quality of life.

In addition to these specialized services, the practice provides oral surgery procedures such as wisdom teeth removal, bone grafting, and dental implants. Pediatric oral surgery is also available, ensuring that younger patients receive age-appropriate care in a supportive environment.

Located at 221 E Glenoaks Blvd in Glendale, the clinic is equipped with modern technology and designed to offer a comfortable and professional setting for consultations and procedures. Dr. Hammoudeh and his team prioritize clear communication, individualized treatment planning, and long-term patient support.
