My son was born with a lip and tongue tie. It was extremely difficult to feed him as an infant. As he got older, his chewing and speech got affected by it. We scheduled an appointment with Dr. Garrett for an evaluation. She was very thorough, gentle, caring and knowledgeable. She immediately took over and worked together with my son's speech therapist. Dr. Taylor performed both lip/tongue frenectomies alongside Dr. Shisler. We felt at ease during the procedure. We knew our son was in excellent hands. Recovery and post operatory instructions were thoroughly explained by Dr. Garrett and Dr. Taylor. We received extraordinaire care at Houston Tongue Tie Center. The staff is professional, prompt and kind. They worked together as a team to give my son an excellent experience. We highly recommend Houston Tongue Tie Center.
