“The Pediatric Development Center is a wonderful resource for families who need help working through oral function issues. I am in private practice as an RN and IBCLC and work with babies who are struggling with oral function and recovering from tongue and lip tie release. PDC has been a light at the end of the tunnel for so many of my families and for me. The staff are empathetic and kind and equip families with exercises and tips to help them help their babies at home. We have had the pleasure of working with some really challenging babies and I know their success is in part due to the work done by PDC.”
