Sydney Kirkpatrick05:28 19 Feb 22We have been seeing Margaret to help with my newborn’s feeding issues and for oral support after her tongue and lip tie... release. She has been so kind, patient, and professional. She really was such a comfort through the whole process and reassured me with her knowledge and experience in this area. I’m so grateful to have found her!read moreShaina Nejman21:39 14 Feb 22Desiree quite literally saved our nursing journey! Our baby was taking so long to eat that he’d tire himself out, fall... asleep and be hungry again in an hour. He was so fussy and I knew it was more than typical baby fussiness. I researched feeding therapists near me and was so lucky to find Advanced Speech Therapy. Upon meeting Desiree I was so impressed with her knowledge, her amazing demeanor and care for our son, and her ability to detect exactly what was going on. Desiree noticed our sons lip and tongue ties and referred us to a pediatric dentist for revision. She provided pre an post treatment and gave us home exercises for carryover. Our baby went from taking forever to feed and never getting full to transferring 4 ounces with ease! We will forever be grateful for Desiree and Advanced Speech Therapy!

Margaret... is amazing, she is clearly an expert in her field and has so much experience treating infants.

After seeing Margaret for aftercare for my 6 month olds lip and tongue tie... revision, I was amazed. She is so knowledgable. She was able to point out and notice things I never would and show me how to correct any issue that came about. I learned SO much. My son healed remarkably and is doing so well now and I truly believe that a large portion of that is due to the aftercare we had with Margaret. Office is very clean and entire staff is very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!read moreWlla Haija22:10 15 Mar 21I highly recommend Margaret for improving any speech problems.

Thank You Anne for all your commitment.read moreEdyta Wnek20:23 27 Sep 20My son was in NICU post-delivery and was placed on a feeding tube. Upon leaving the hospital, he was unable to latch... onto the breast or feed from the bottle, and because of that he was struggling to gain weight. We decided to reach out to Margaret. At our initial evaluation, Margaret was very thorough and provided us with a lot of information regarding our son's feeding abilities but most importantly she recognized lip and tongue ties that were contributing to our baby's feeding difficulties. Margaret guided me through breast-feeding and gave us therapy exercises to help our son's tongue and lip muscle. When the time was right, Margaret refereed us to a specialist to evolute the ties. He had confirmed Margaret's initial assessment and recommended a release. After the ties were released, we worked with Margaret for several weeks on post-op stretches and teaching our baby how to move and use his tongue and lips correctly. I am extremely happy with all that Margaret has done for us. She is incredibly knowledge and is an excellent therapist. Because of everything she has done and everything she has taught us, our son is breast-feeding without any difficulties and is gaining. weight appropriately. Margaret and her staff are all extremely friendly, respectful, and welcoming, and I would highly recommend her practice to anyone.read morekatarzyna brozek22:51 02 Aug 20I highly recommend Mrs. Margaret.
