I met with Dr Hoban about my concern for my newborns lip tie tongue tie and buccal tie. She came highly recommended. Nursing is important to me bc my baby is special needs and i want to give her the best start in life.
I ran my baby's short medical history off and then the dr checker her over. She Said my baby doesn't have a lip or tongue tie, that she did notice buccal ties but didn't think the revision would be helpful, she recommended a chiropractor and possibly a feeding therapist. She told me to bottle feed and that nursing for anything other then for comfort would not be possible, and charged me 90$ Needless to say i left devastated and in tears. I am a determined mama i stuck to my mothers intuition. I got another option this lactation consultant absolutely diagnosed lip tie and tongue tie, and said my baby was a severe case. This Lactation consultant referred us to the best doctor in the field we went to Albany New York. Where this doctor took one look and recommended a revision of the tongue lip and left and right cheek tie. Im very angry and disappointed that she would not only misdiagnosis my newborns very Noticeable and severe mouth issues and tell me nursing my baby would Never be possible. For those needing a second option i suggest Tammy Dukie the breast feeding guru she can also be found on yelp and face book.
