We had my newborn daughter’s lip and tongue ties repaired by Dr. Ritter. He was amazing and his staff was so kind and welcoming. They made us feel comfortable and answered all of our questions both before and after the procedure. Would definitely use Dr. Ritter again!

“Dr. Ritter and his team are amazing! I was referred by a lactation nurse for my daughter’s lip and tongue tie and they got me in right away, were friendly and gentle, and explained everything to me. I am so glad I was able to bring my daughter to be cared for by such an excellent team of professionals. I would recommend them to anyone!”

Dr. Jesse and his staff performed our newborn son’s lip and tongue tie procedures and they were absolutely wonderful! As a new mom I was dreading it but our infant came out of the treatment room calm and quiet. I couldn’t believe it. The entire office was very clean, beautiful and complete with fresh baked cookies! Couldn’t have been happier with the experience. Thank you!
