A Few Words From A Patient.
We had sweet memories getting our tongue-tie fixed at Katie’s office.
Our orthodontist referred us to Katie once she found out we were tongue-tied during our initial orthodontic consultation.
We did several myofunctional therapy sessions with Katie, leading up to the tongue-tie release operation, and a few follow-up sessions afterwards. Katie has been really patient and excellent in guiding us to reach the correct tongue/mouth position during our sessions. She would print out reading materials to see how we pronounce, observe how we chew, and design and assign us take home tongue practices. Additionally, she did tongue tie release herself as an adult, so we got lots of useful advice from her.
Katie is super sweet and professional, very patient and detail-oriented. I highly recommend her for adult tongue/mouth related issues!
