Tongue Tie Evaluation

Full assessment of tongue, lip, and buccal ties. Coordination with trusted pediatric dentists and ENTs in west Houston when release is needed.

Prenatal Lactation Consultation

Common questions

Katy FAQ

Do you take walk-ins?
No. All visits are by appointment. Start with the secure intake form and we’ll match you with the right visit type.
How fast can I get an appointment?
Most families are scheduled within 3–5 business days. Same-day benefits verification when you submit your intake before 3 PM on a weekday. Virtual triage visits are often available within 24–72 hours for urgent feeding concerns.
Do you do tongue tie evaluations?
Yes. Full tongue, lip, and buccal tie assessments are part of our standard consultation. If release is indicated, we coordinate with trusted pediatric dentists and ENTs in west Houston, then support you with post-release feeding care.
What is laser photobiomodulation (PBM)?
Therapeutic laser (also called photobiomodulation) is a non-invasive, drug-free option our chiropractic team uses for musculoskeletal tension and discomfort, and for tissue and post-procedure recovery. Families also ask about it for feeding-related tension. Whether it is appropriate for your situation is decided at the chiropractic evaluation. It requires a chiropractic evaluation first and is a separate, self-pay appointment. See Chiropractic & Bodywork for full details.
Is parking easy at the Katy office?
Yes. Unit 601 has dedicated, ground-level parking right in front of the suite, including stroller-friendly access. Bring your baby in the carrier or stroller, whichever is easiest.
Do I need to wait for my insurance to be verified before booking my appointment?

No. You can book your appointment before your insurance is verified. As long as you submit your insurance information at least 1–2 business days (Monday through Friday) before your appointment, our team will have enough time to verify your coverage prior to your visit. If you are submitting the day before your scheduled visit, please submit by 3 PM so we have time to verify.

If we discover that your plan is not covered or has unusual restrictions, we will notify you by email and text message. If you decide to cancel your appointment due to lack of coverage, we will waive the cancellation fee as long as you request cancellation on the same day we notify you.
