Dr Patty and Happy Grins are amazing. We've been through 2 tongue-tie procedures with our 2 kids. Dr Patty is thorough, detailed, and concise in her evaluation and explanation. They do a full, holistic care plan based on what's best for the child and make sure that all avenues are explored before surgery. Even with the surgery, there are additional supports provided to make sure the outcome is successful. It feels so clean, updated, and you can feel that the individuals that work there love what they do. We would not choose to go anywhere else for tongue and lip tie revisions.

I had such a smooth and wonderful experience here! I was naturally a bit nervous for my daughter, but Dr. Patty went above and beyond to make me feel completely at ease. She set clear expectations and provided all the information we needed to ensure the entire process was seamless for both of us. The entire office staff is so warm, lovely, and welcoming. I highly recommend this office to anyone!

My daughter had a tongue-tie surgery recently, and I want to share the great experience with Dr. Patty and her staff. Her recovery is even more successful because of her new laser therapy. And most of all, they are very kind and care about you. They are amazing. Thank you for all you have done for my daughter and family. Many blessings. Helen M.

Wonderful doctor and staff! I was very nervous about the tongue & lip tie operation, and they turned my worries into a huge blessing! The successful testimonials inspired me to move forward, and I can now speak confidently to the amazing work of Dr Patty! My baby girl would be exhausted trying to drink just a few ounces over 1 hour+ durations; immediately after surgery, the time went down to 15 minutes or less!! My baby girl is able to be her fun and happy self because of this team; I would not have met this part of her without them! We plan on returning for dental :-)

Best place in Florida to take your kids for tongue or lip tie procedure; doctor was extremely thorough before, during and after surgery, made sure we did speech therapy. Our daughter is healed up now and recovered her speech is night and day difference for the better, teeth are straight, eats better, all around a great experience would recommend them to everyone in need of these services.
