I knew…read moremy third would also, and I was quite anxious about the thought of not succeeding this time, so when seeking out a Lactation consultant, I happened across Grace's info. She made mention that she specialized in tongue and lip ties. I knew I needed to call right away and I'm so glad I did. From the moment I met Grace, she was warm and caring and made me feel safe, and encouraged me. She confirmed what I knew to be, and unlike my last two experiences with tongue and lip tie releases, I had her to walk me through the entire process. She came to the pediatric dentist with me, and was in the procedure with my baby, when I couldn't be. She helped me at follow up appointments with checking his wounds to ensure I was doing correct wound care, and then helping me improve his latch. I've never felt so cared for, and supported, and you can just see how much Grace absolutely loves her work and how passionate she is about helping mothers and babies successfully breastfeed! I would recommend Grace to ANYONE who is looking for a Lactation consultant. She has been doing this for many years, and works with some incredible doctors, who I'm also glad to have been connected with. Baby is feeding SO well now, pain is gone, and I'm producing a magnificent amount of milk! I honestly feel like I may just have the most successful journey yet, with this baby, and it truly is all thanks to Grace! If you're experiencing pain, or baby isn't latching, or you're concerned with milk supply, PLEASE call Grace. She will be able to help!

An important thing to know is that Grace seems to be a very strong advocate of tongue tie revision,…read moreand if you are not planning on revising your money may be spent elsewhere. My wife and I reached out to Grace for help breastfeeding with our second son. My wife let her know from the beginning that we are not interested in doing a tongue tie revision - this was because we did it with our first son and it was traumatic and did not actually help with his breastfeeding. Even though my wife was clear about this, Grace continued to lecture about tongue tie revisions and tongue tie risks throughout almost the entire session. She offered some but not much help outside of offering tongue tie info. The session was not very helpful for our family. Also, it's important to read the fine print that even though the session is quoted as $100, you have to pay a non refundable $25 deposit beforehand. We saw another lactation consultant a few days afterwards who was significantly more helpful - she listened to our situation and spent 2.5 hours helping us with techniques and tips to have a healthy breastfeeding relationship without a tongue tie revision. I believe Grace is a good person and doing what she believes is best and helpful, but it just may not be the best care for every family.

It always felt like a one-size-fits-all approach with very limited options, and I was concerned about the way they viewed and treated my four-year-old. After reading reviews from parents with similar stories, we decided to try 4S Pediatric Dentistry -- and I'm so glad we did. From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredible with my son. He used to be scared of going to the dentist, but now he's actually happy to go. Dr. Arielle gave me multiple treatment options (which is all I wanted in the first place), and they were far simpler and less aggressive than what we were offered at Super Dentist. My son had a cavity filled today, and the way they guided him through the entire process was amazing. When numbing him, the doctor joked about having "sharp nails," and I truly had no idea she had already given the injection -- such a clever and gentle approach! I couldn't be happier with how they treat both their patients and the parents. Bonus: Kids get a prize at the end of each visit!

Wow, it was amazing and Dr. Miner is amazing and absolutely the best! Today, I'm still doing great, no pain and no bleeding! I think Dr. Miner is the best oral surgeon in the San Diego area.

They do such an amazing job and always make sure I'm being taken care of. Every single person in the office is very nice and accommodating. I have a lot of anxiety and also pain with dental procedures and feel like a problem patient. But they never make me feel like a problem and they're always here to help.

I attribute my success in breast-feeding entirely to Janae. I hired her for a prenatal consultation…read morewhere she taught me how to hand Express colostrum to the point where I had collected ample before my baby was born five days later. Additionally, I hired her for a postpartum visit, where she helped alleviate engorgement in my breast. I would have paid triple for her advice and her guidance for-feeding. She completely changed the game for me and my son. I am no longer inflamed, the engorgement in my breast is manageable with her massage techniques, and my positioning, while breast-feeding allows for my baby to maximize eating. She is worth her weight and gold and is a complete godsend. I would highly recommend her for anyone who is pregnant or recently postpartum because she will completely change your life for the better.

After a month, we saw no change. Switching to exclusive formula feeding seemed like the only sustainable option, but I was heartbroken at the thought of giving up breastfeeding. A lactation consultant from my breastfeeding support group strongly recommended Janae as a last try. She was able to come over the very next day and helped us create a new plan to increase my supply and gradually reduce bottle feeding. Throughout the process, Janae was always available over text. She offered practical guidance on how to move toward our goals and emotional support that helped me trust the process. Before meeting Janae, I truly felt like there was no hope for my breastfeeding journey. After a month of hard work and her constant support, I'm thrilled to share that my baby had his first full day of exclusive breastfeeding yesterday!

I was referred to Dr. Corbin Smith by my lactation specialist, who had rave reviews about both his…read morework and his bedside manner, as well as the fact that he offers tongue-tie releases at a very reasonable cost. After our experience with him, I completely understand why she recommended him. I was impressed from the very beginning. Dr. Smith schedules a full hour for the consultation at no charge and with absolutely no pressure to move forward with the release. He took his time explaining the procedure, what we could expect if we chose to do it, and what we might expect if we decided not to. I was very nervous about putting my daughter through the procedure, and he helped me feel much more comfortable that the experience would likely be easier on her than I was imagining. We decided to move forward with the release. Parents aren't in the room during the procedure, so as soon as they told me I could come back, I rushed in expecting my daughter to be very upset. Instead, I found her perfectly content, bouncing in the nurse's arms. She wasn't crying or visibly distressed. I nursed her for a few minutes and she quickly fell asleep. That was an enormous relief for me. Dr. Smith was also very thorough about aftercare, including Tylenol dosing and exactly how to do the stretches so everything would heal properly. They gave me a number I could call or text with questions, including after hours when messages go directly to the doctor. Before I even had a reason to use it, Dr. Smith reached out himself that evening to check on my daughter. I did contact him with questions on a couple of occasions afterward, and he was always quick to respond and helpful. I also really appreciate that follow-up care is built into the process. We have two follow-up visits to make sure everything is healing correctly. I was nervous going into that first check, so it was a huge relief to hear that she was healing well, we were doing the stretches correctly, and everything was on track. Now, two weeks later, my daughter is barely fazed by the stretches, just as Dr. Smith told us would happen. Even better, we are already seeing such a difference with breastfeeding. She is transferring much more milk in less time, getting less frustrated, and no longer having to work so hard to compensate while feeding. I'm very grateful for how carefully Dr. Smith and his team handled the entire experience. From the consultation and procedure to the accessibility afterward and the follow-up care, I felt like my daughter was genuinely well taken care of.

Now, about 10 weeks post-procedure, our son is doing exceptionally well and breastfeeding like a champ :) We are very grateful for Dr. Smith's care and would absolutely recommend him to other families navigating similar feeding challenges.
