What Parents Are Saying
Farrah was just amazing taking the time to answer our questions and make us informed about everything. I felt at ease knowing Farrah was taking good care of my sweet baby boy! She even took the time to check in the day after my baby's procedure.
Amanda Weathers
Farrah was excellent and easy to work with. My son had a tongue tie release at 7 weeks old and I was very nervous to have it done. She was patient with me and answered all of my questions. The procedure was quick and I was back in the room in about 5 minutes. (He and I both only shed a few tears!) My son's latch has improved drastically and it has made breastfeeding much more efficient, which has helped him to now sleep longer. He was waking approximately once an hour or so to nurse during the day and since his release has taken 3 hour naps and slept almost 5 hours through the night. Can't recommend Farrah enough. She also called and checked on him multiple times, which shows how much she cares and how willing she is to go the extra mile.
Jamie DeMore
Was a nice experience (as nice as it can get having a circumcision at least) the lady doing it made us feel comfortable and our baby felt safe in her hands. The whole procedure went quick. The office was nice and warm for my baby and he barely cried! The worship music she had in the background during the process was a nice touch and I would definitely recommend her to anyone. Lovely lady, her and her assistant. Very kind. :)
