At just 10 years old, Anthony Patiri’s life changed when a tumor began growing on his jaw. A surgery to remove it was unsuccessful, but his mother, Theresa, was determined to find answers. Her search led them to NYU Langone Health.

Here, they met Dr. Eduardo Rodriguez, chair of the Hansjorg Wyss Department of Plastic Surgery. Dr. Rodriguez recommended reconstructive surgery using a piece of Anthony’s hip bone to rebuild his jaw. He assured Anthony and his family that the procedure wouldn’t affect his ability to walk or play sports.

Today, Anthony is in his senior year of high school—and he's captain of the varsity soccer team. “Our expectations are far beyond what we had hoped,” Theresa says. “And that is a tremendous gift from Dr. Rodriguez and the team at NYU Langone.”
