TESTIMONIALS

What Patients Say.

Katie is absolutely wonderful, knowledgeable and kind. I came to her for guidance with my son’s lip and tongue ties, unfamiliar territory for me as this did not happen with my first baby. I felt supported throughout the evaluation, prep, surgery and follow-up sessions. I highly recommend her!

— Cicilia
I had a virtual consultation with Katie after multiple visits with an IBCLC, a pediatric PT, and 2 pediatricians for a suspected feeding aversion for my 3 month old son. He had been dealing with reflux for weeks and was gradually eating less from a bottle. Once I reached out to Katie, she responded right away and our virtual consultation provided so many more insights on oral function than any other provider had given to us. I am so grateful to have found her because now I have more hope in having positive breastfeeding and bottlefeeding journeys.

— Jackie
I was referred to Katie by my dentist, since I’d had trouble breathing through my nose and was mouth-breathing at night. She was able to diagnose the issue immediately (apparently I’d always had an “acute” tongue-tie), and she trained me for the needed surgery. Now I’m breathing great! Katie is an ideal healthcare provider. Easy to communicate with, enthusiastic, and genuine. If all doctors were as passionate about their work as she is, the world would be a much better place. I’ve recommended her to all of my mouth-breathing friends.

— Matthew
It was such a pleasure to work with Katie! Got a referral to consult with Katie about my 1.5 year old's tongue tie. Katie worked with us pre and post-op to ensure my daughter improved oral motor function from the surgery (optimizing speech & sleep !!). In addition, she helped us streamline the process for getting a frenectomy, answered all my Qs, and ensured that it was done by a trusted provider. Lastly, she easily made my daughter and I feel comfortable in her office with her warmth and encouragement! Highly recommend!!
