“We trusted him completely, right from the beginning,” recalls Phoebe Livingston, remembering the moment her newborn daughter Alba was urgently referred to Albert Woo. She had Pierre Robin sequence, a rare craniofacial condition marked by an extremely small lower jaw that causes the tongue to fall backward, often blocking the airway.

“We’ll never forget how supported we felt,” Sergio says. “We weren’t just treated like a case. Every nurse, every surgeon, every specialist cared about her like she was their own. Hasbro saved our daughter’s life and gave her a future.”
Today, you would never know that Alba was born with a life-threatening condition; and she is more than just thriving. “Alba is fun, she’s sassy, and she’s full of life,” Phoebe smiled.
