Amazing dental office. I've never had an experience here that was less than great. Every single staff person (Dr. Po, Dr. Baird, Daisy, V, etc.) is warm, kind, patient, and thorough. I love that they educate you through the process and are very efficient. Couldn't recommend more.

Update: I am about two months post op and I am so very pleased with all the improvements. I am breathing through my nose and my tongue rests on the roof of mouth. My general anxiety has decreased significantly from having this surgery. I am beyond grateful to Dr. Baird and Po dentistry for everything they have done for me through out this process. I had my tongue tie released by Dr. Baird last Friday and there have been so many little improvements I'm noticing in just a week post op. The top of my list is I no longer mouth breathe while wearing my mask. The tension in my neck and shoulders has diminished. I can brush my tongue without gagging. They were all little things that I figured I'd just have to live with. The actual surgery was easy with minimal pain or discomfort. Everything was explained pre and post op, so I knew what to expect. I am so happy I decided to get my tie released after 37 years. I coupled my tongue tie release with therapy at OMT York and am so pleased with the results. Who knew your tongue placement would have so much effect on other things in your body? I really can't say enough good things about Dr. Baird and everyone at Po Dentistry.

I absolutely love Dr. Po and her team! They are so kind and considerate. They do their best to remember small details in my life and always make my experience a pleasant one (well...as pleasant as a dentist visit can be). Highly recommend this practice!

My 2-month old son was having some issues while nursing, but I was not getting clear answers from other physicians regarding any tongue or lip ties. I was getting conflicting information, and was beginning to feel very uneasy about any future breastfeeding with him. At the end of my rope, I was told to call Po Dentistry. Immediately, I was put to ease by the friendly and EXTREMELY helpful office staff! Tammy was truly a blessing to work with, and she was able to get my son an appointment within the very next day, all the while making sure to fully explain any and all procedures and processes, and answering all of my questions. The next day, still a bit anxious about what may happen, we met Dr. Baird. She was truly a joy to work with, and the assistant, Noelle was also very friendly and helpful. The both of them made completely sure we all understood everything, and they successfully did a labial and lingual frenectomy to fix both his tongue and lip ties. Within minutes, the procedure was completed, and I was able to be in the room and help comfort my son. Another few minutes and he was in my arms nursing comfortably. Afterwards, Dr. Baird came back and asked to pray with us. My heart was overjoyed by this! After several dozen of my own prayers over the last few days, I felt such peace when she asked this. She just made the entire experience such a breeze. I felt 100% confident of the choice we made to come here, and will certainly be returning!
