Tessa is an AMAZING consultant. I literally ask her about everything! I rely on her more than I rely on my son's doctor. When I ask the pediatrician a question, I usually get "He's fine", but with Tessa I get explanations and details that help me better understand certain things. Dr. Emily is heaven sent as she helped to loosen my baby. The exercises have been working very well with him and he so flexible now and sleeps so much better. Her patience with babies is wonderful!!
My son and I were having latch issues as well as needing overall check ins with his weight. I was referred to Dana Gillman and my goodness I couldn’t recommend her enough! She is absolutely amazing and makes you feel 100% comfortable. She has a wide range of knowledge and you can tell she really cares about her patients, she is super responsive when I have any questions and believe me I have a ton! Extremely happy with my care by Dana, BOOK WITH HER!
Mary was an amazing IBCLC. She spent hours listening, working with us, and consulting different resources to get our 4.5lb emergency C-section baby from his feeding tube, through a tie release procedure to a happy little guy who nursed until he was almost 2. She stayed in touch with us periodically even after we stopped seeing her regularly. Just a few months ago after guiding me through some resources on breastfeeding during IVF for our next pregnancy I sent her the following: Just wanted to report in and thank you for the incredible work you did to save Gavin's breastfeeding journey. It is one of the greatest gifts I have ever received and there are no words to appropriately thank you 🙏 Merry Christmas! 🎄
Absolutely loved our experience! Ali was so informative and helped us so much! We are so grateful!
Tiphany was such a God send ! We went from barely being able to breastfeed (3 weeks old) to exclusively nursing with great milk transfer by 12 weeks! She sat with me through all my frustrations and was so calm, caring, and helpful ! I’m so thankful for her!!!
