So happy we were referred to Dr. Rumack! Our little one had a tongue and lip tie and he was having a lot of issues with feeding and spit up. We came in for a consult and decided to proceed with having his tongue and lip release done same day. They took such good care of him and the areas healed up very quickly. We are so glad that we got the procedure done for our baby. We noticed a big difference with his feeding and the range of motion with his tongue. The first 24 hours were the hardest for recovery but after the first day our little one did great with his exercises and healing process. So happy we took care of this now and not down the road when he was older. The entire office made the experience really easy and comforting. read more

I have no words to express how grateful I am for finding Dr. Rumacks office. My son had to have a tongue tie revision procedure - the previous doctor had botched my son's tongue, and Dr. Rumack did a beautiful job with the revision. The office is immaculate and beautiful and Dr. Rumack's assistant Angie was the absolute best. They know their stuff and they provide excellent follow up care and protocols to make sure the frenulum doesn't reattach. I will forever use Dr. Rumack for my son's pediatric dentistry needs. I also want to share that Dr. Rumack fixing my son's, tongue tie absolutely saved my breast-feeding journey, and I am truly forever grateful! read more

I can't say enough great things about Dr. Rumack and her staff! My newborn was struggling to latch on during feedings and I was told she has a minor tongue tie by my pediatrician and that it won't affect her latching. I reached out to my lactation consultant who recommended I go see Dr. Rumack; I am so happy that I did. She also said it is minor, but did a thorough assessment and said a tongue and lip tie release would benefit her. The procedure was done in house (with laser) and was less than 5-10 minutes. My newborn came back calm. The post procedure exercises were simple. AND the best part is that she was able to latch on for the FIRST feed after procedure (same day!!). I drove an hour to see her and it was well worth it. I highly recommended her. read more

The best pediatric dentist. The staff is amazing, the doctor is really professional, and the office is beautiful. They have wonderful parking. My kids love going to the dentist because of this Office. It is so beautiful. I highly recommend it. read more

Dr. Rumack and her office are incredible! I was first recommended by a lactation consultant two years ago when my first son had tongue & lip tie. Dr. Rumack walked me through the procedure and reassured this nervous first time mom that my 7 week old was in the greatest care. He healed so quickly with her direction and tips, that when my second son was born this summer and also needed his tongue & lip tie fixed, my first call out of the hospital was to Dr. Rumack. Again, the office visit and procedure was so quick & easy, it really put me at ease. Recently a friend reached out for more information on tongue tie as her newborn daughter also needed the procedure. I recommended this office, and a few weeks later to my surprise, I received a handwritten thank you from Dr. Rumack! It's reasons like this that I will always confidently recommend this team. Thank you so much, Dr. Rumack! read more

Top quality doctor. Her approach, demeanor, level of professionalism and knowledge are all top notch! Thanks to Dr. Rumack and her staff for taking care of our son. read more

Dr. Rumack is a very knowledgeable, empathetic and professional provider. I had been working with lactation consultants because of my daughter's lip tie and tongue tie feeding was very difficult for her. She also had a lot of tightness in her neck and shoulders and jaw because of the tie. The procedure to revise both ties are done in the office as an outpatient procedure with a laser. There is very specific after-care that needs to be done to help the baby heal well, and the laser definitely helped facilitate that as opposed to the surgical cut which I know some places do for the ties as well. It can seem scary having your baby have a procedure like this done, but after being revised, my daughter was able to latch and stay on better, she started making more baby coos and sounds and started smiling so much more. If you are considering having a revision, they also recommended seeing a chiropractor for the baby to assist with the tightness that accompanies these kinds of ties. The chiro helped my baby so much in the postop as well as preop period! Like I said--Dr. Rumack is very knowledgeable! I would definitely recommend their office to any parents looking to help their kiddos thrive. read more

Incredible practice! I can't say enough great things about this dental office. My son loves it here and it's so impeccable! I wish I could come here myself! 10/10 recommend! read more

Elena Rumack, DDS MS - Waiting area for the kiddos - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Calabasas, California

We saw Dr. Rumack for our daughters tongue tie. Naturally, we were hesitant to do the procedure because she was so little! Only 1 month old! I tried everything I could to avoid doing the procedure, but her tongue tie was just too tight. It was affecting her latching and in general she was very tense as a little baby. Once my husband and I signed on to have it done -- We were also supported by our lactation consultant -- I would never ever go back. She sleeps better, she latched better, and believer it or not, she just more chill. That's just the procedure. Dr. Rumack and her staff are just really nice and comforting. They made us feel good about doing it, and the process of checking her in and getting it done was seamless and smooth so we felt like we were in good hands. Our baby was fussy the first night for sure, and it's not easy to hear your baby cry while the procedure is getting done but it's over in seconds, and there's no price tag on a happy, healthy baby. read more

Dr. Rumack did an incredible job with my baby's tongue tie release. She is thoughtful, gentle, and thorough in her approach. She is very holistic and looks at the whole picture. She was great at following up with us and was very responsive. She clearly wanted to make sure that the procedure was successful and that baby was recovering well. My baby breastfed better after the release and her gas improved over the following weeks. She has since moved on to solids and is doing fantastic with eating! Her office staff were also a pleasure to work with and easy to get ahold of. Highly recommend Dr. Rumack if your little one needs a frenectomy! read more

Dr. Rumac and her team are absolutely exceptional. We were referred to her by our pediatrician and could not have had a more positive or educational experience. We went in for my infant's tongue tie and learned he was also lip tied. They were able to correct it entirely and gave clear guidance on how to manage aftercare. They were wonderful at helping ease my mind when I had concerns about healing and even got us in for a last minute appointment to make sure all was well. After such a great experience with my I brought my daughter in for her first cleaning ever with Melissa and her check up with Dr. Rumac, once again, an exceptional experience. My 2.5 yr old is asking to go back to see them. read more

Dr. Rumack is the best pediatrician in Calabasas hands down! All my friends take their kids to see her! Even my one Mom friend in Tarzana takes her kids there. She is extremely knowledgeable, gentle, caring and has the most experience in pediatric dentistry. Even when my daughter needed a cavity, she did it awake and my daughter had zero pain or complaints. Highly recommend Dr. Rumack for all your pediatric dentistry needs! read more

Our daughter needed to get a frenectomy ASAP and let me tell you, we were so scared to go through with it. As a parent, the last thing you want to do is put your child through anything that may be less than comfy. We were highly recommended to see Dr. Rumack by multiple families who have had their children's releases done with Dr. Rumack. We scheduled the appointment thinking we would just go in as a consultation. What's really cool is that they leave room during the consultation appointment to get the procedure done, so that you don't need to come back. We ended up getting the procedure done that same day because we felt SO comfortable with Dr. Rumack - our daughter loved her too! From start to finish, our daughter was out of the room for 5 minutes. It was SO quick. Dr. Rumack took so much time with us with all our questions (first time parents, so we have many!! Lol!). It's been 2 weeks since the frenectomy and our daughter has healed BEAUTIFULLY. THANK YOU DR. RUMACK! Choosing you was the best decision us first time parents could have made. read more

We had an amazing experience with Dr. Rumack. We went to go see Dr. Rumack from a referral from our Pediatrician for our daughters tough tie. Our daughter was born with a tongue tie, and she was having a difficult time breastfeeding to the point that she lost more than 10% of her weight, and it was extremely painful for me. We made an immediate appointment with Dr. Rumack when my daughter was 7 days old (Dec 2024), was seen that day for the consultation and the procedure same day! The experience was great, the staff and Dr. Rumack were very caring, answered all our questions, showed us and educated us on what all it means to have a tongue tie, and after the procedure was done, we left confident that everything would be alright. They took their time, we didn't feel rushed, and they took care of our baby girl. The location was excellent, clean, and we appreciated how there was a little waiting room to feed baby as needed. Highly recommend this office if your baby is in need of their services. read more

I love Dr. Rumack. Everyone in her office is so sweet! My 4 year old looks forward to going there.

Dr Rumack and the whole staff at Calabasas Pediatric Dentistry were amazing! My newborn was struggling breastfeeding and my lactation consultant recommended a consultation with Dr. Rumack. The office checked my insurance coverage prior to my appointment, and Dr. Rumack came in ON HER DAY OFF to perform the consultation and then procedure to fix my daughters lip and tongue tie. Dr. Rumack was SO good at explaining why it was important to get both fixed and how she will continue to benefit long term from these corrections. I could go on and on about how amazing Dr. Rumack is. I was so impressed with her knowledge and bedside manner for a nervous mom whose baby was having a procedure at 4 weeks old. read more

My husband and I are beyond thankful for the laser removal process Dr. Rumack did on our twin babies cheek and tongue ties. Our daughter was getting reflux, and would always be irritable when eating -crying, arching her back, pulling away...when she is otherwise an extremely happy baby. She would dribble a lot of milk, but we thought that was normal as a newborn. we asked our pediatrician, who told us not to waste our time doing laser removal for her ties, but rather to "manage the reflux"...we tried that, and not much got better, so we decided to consult a pediatrics dentist instead. Dr. Rumack discovered that our son also had ties, even though he didn't show many symptoms, and was kinda enough to perform the procedure for both babies within the same appointment. The follow up visits were very helpful, as we could see improvement within the first few weeks. I would highly recommend any parent who sees or suspects ties based on symptoms to go in and get an expert opinion (a dentist who deals with this daily, not pediatrician who does not) As a final mention, our daughter really struggled with and absolutely hated tummy time, and we later learned that the tightness from the ties was causing tightness in her neck muscles - which made it much harder and likely less pleasurable (as most babies already don't like tummy time to start) to try and hold her head up.. We have seen significant improvements in her neck mobility and ability to hold her head up since the procedure! I wish we would have done it sooner, as we did not go in until the twins were 11 weeks...but so thankful we did it! read more

What a wonderful experience me and my daughter had for our first dentist visit ... the staff are beyond wonderful, they are caring and extremely kind and they take things very slowly communicating with your child. I love it and my toddler loved them. Dr Rumack was very though-rough and read more

Dr Rumack is the best! She is so patient, sweet, informative and professional! I brought me 6 weeks old to get her lip and posterior tongue tie released. She did an excellent job, was very fast, my daughter didnt have any complications and only had pain in the first night (which we gave Tylenol for the pain) and everything went well and healed fast. Dr Rumack explained everything she was very caring and most important gentle ! She has a lovely energy and is very warm and kind! Highly recommended we are very happy :) Thank you! read more

From beginning to end, Dr. Rumack and everyone I came into contact with at her office were amazing! And here's why. The day after my son, our second child, was born we learned that he had a tongue-tie that needed to be revised in order to help him latch and breastfeed easier. I called Dr. Rumack's office that same day and learned that she was booked out for weeks. However, they made time to see us the next day. Dr. Rumack pointed out the problems we are likely to run into if my son doesn't get the frenectomy. It was like she was describing the experience we had with my first child, our now two-year-old daughter, who also had a tongue-tie. Only we elected not to perform the frenectomy at the time because no one could give us a definitive answer as to why my daughter was not latching properly. That led us down a stressful road of making sure my daughter was getting enough milk from breastfeeding, counting dirty diapers, watching our baby's weight obsessively, and eventually switching to formula sooner than we had hoped (3 weeks after birth). We had hoped for a corrective experience with our second child and we're happy Dr. Rumack helped to make that possible. She understood the urgency of our situation and fit us in immediately to complete the frenectomy. Dr. Rumack gave me clear instructions post-op and demonstrated a few exercises I needed to continue with my son to avoid a regrowth of the tongue-tie. The exercises bothered my son for the first two days and he was used to it after. What seemed like a nightmare situation actually turned out to be very easy to manage. Dr. Rumack said it best, it takes a village to raise a kid, and I'm so very grateful that she was willing and able to help us in a time of need. We cannot recommend Dr. Rumack and her dentistry office enough. Thank you again and again Dr. Rumack et al! read more

I brought my newborn daughter to Dr. Rumack to fix her tongue tie two days after birth - a procedure I recently learned that a pediatric dentist can correct using an outpatient laser procedure. She was kind enough to fit us in and see us urgently to allow my daughter the best opportunity to eat properly. She saw us on time and got to know us a little bit before performing the procedure. The procedure itself lasted less than 5 minutes and was fairly painless for my baby. Her office gave me instructions on the wound's after care as well as made me feel very supported in the event anything we're to change with the healing process. They also gave us tips and tricks on how to prevent the tie from growing back. Dr. Rumack not only is very professional and kind but works very well with families (this was our first experience with a pediatric dentist). She was patient with us and our newborn and was extremely knowledgeable about tongue and lip ties and all the areas in which releasing it would effect. I'm looking forward to seeing her again when my children are ready to see the dentist for care! It's also important to note that we live nowhere near the office but I was so pleased to make the drive to receive such great care. read more

Wait times are the only draw back in our experience here. Otherwise, excellent care and quality.

I am so glad we came to see Dr. Rumack to evaluate my 8 month old baby's tongue tie. I was so worried he was going to need surgery to get it removed, so it was a huge relief to be evaluated by such an expert as herself who assured us that he will be fine without the surgery. Dr. Rumack was very thorough in her examination, and spent a lot of time explaining things and answering questions. I like that she is not one of those doctors that pushes procedures, but instead she truly evaluates things on a case by case basis and gives her honest opinion, which clearly can be trusted based on all her 5 star reviews. Highly recommend her if you are in need of a pediatric dentist! read more

I love dr Rumack and her team. I found them in 2015 and have 4 kids and my kids have never seen any other dentist, and hopefully never will. I've moved since first becoming a patient, but I still make the drive to see her. She is simply the best and I based my dental insurance on her and would gladly pay extra for my kids to keep getting great dentist care. read more

Dr. Rumack's office has the most amazing caring staff I've ever met (I visit multiple dental office a day part of my job) they're by FAR the BEST. The minute you walk in the door you are greeted with a smile and friendly faces. Besides being so caring they listen and they're super accommodating. I've been taking my kids to see Dr. Rumack for over 10 years and I've never experienced anything but kindness from both front office and back office staff Dr. Rumack and Dr. Harmar are wonderful pediatric dentist. My kids always leave the office with a SMILE. I recommend them to my neighbors, friends and family. read more

Our daughter had a suspected tongue tie, lip tie, and buccal ties. We were referred to Dr. Rumack by our IBCLC to have them taken care of for a better latch. Dr. Rumack's office made a next day appt for us and explained everything over the phone including cost and how to prepare. Dr. Rumack and her staff are friendly, courteous and very professional. We felt comfortable and safe having this procedure done with her. We researched a lot of options including cutting by an ENT and felt that the laser method used by this office was the best choice. Our daughter healed perfectly and now eats in 20 minutes instead of an hour. Her gas is better, she has less spit up, and is sleeping better. We are all sleeping better thanks to Dr. Rumack! read more

I can't even begin to say how AMAZING my experience was with Dr. Rumack. My lactation consultant, Samar, noticed oral ties (tongue, cheek, and upper lip) almost immediately when my son was born. I was extremely hesitant to see a pediatric dentist. I had been exclusively pumping but still had hopes of being able to exclusively breastfeed. I had kept trying but my son's latch was so shallow. I finally agreed when my little one was 4 months old. Dr. Rumack was so patient, kind, and explained everything including all the benefits of releasing his oral ties. I agreed and literally later that day my son's latch improved. My little one is now 6 months old and we have exclusively breastfeeding since his release two months ago! I WISH I did it earlier when my lactation consultant recommended but I was so scared for my son. Dr. Rumack did wonders for us! I HIGHLY recommend going through with the laser procedure and not waiting!! read more

My daughter has been seeing Dr. Rumack for a couple of years now and we love her and all of her kind and professional team!! My daughter had her baby molars extracted and a couple of cavities filled by her. Dr. Rumack makes these possible stressful procedures stress-free for my daughter as well as for me!

We live all the way in Santa Monica but we love going to Dr. Rumack's office to see her and her friendly staff a couple of times a year (then stopping at the big mall afterwards!). It's well worth it for us!! (I kind of wished she treated adults too... I need a new dentist...) read more

I'm a first time mom with a three day old baby. We're having an awful time with nursing and our pediatrician confirmed today it's due to a severe tongue tie.

Dr. Rumack saved my breastfeeding experience! Not only is she absolutely lovely -- very personable, thorough, kind -- she diagnosed my daughter with a tongue and lip tie after her pediatrician said she was fine. I knew something was wrong though because my daughter could not latch (and this was my second time nursing). Sure enough, as soon as she revised her ties, she latched right away. The procedure was fast and my daughter didn't seem to be in any pain. Also, the front staff nice too! read more

My wife was having an exceptionally painful breast feeding experience. She would say her nipples felt like they had been run over by a car and set on fire. We spoke with numerous lactation consultants and the one that truly ended up helping was Candice J. of Goldilacts. She did a virtual consult with us and recommended Dr. Rumack after determining that our wee one likely had a tongue tie. We visited Dr. Rumack and, first of all, she is LOVELY. She did a preliminary exam and found that the little guy had both a tongue and upper lip tie. We decided to have her "revise" them right then and there with her fancy laser technique. He seemed largely unimpacted by the procedure, made not a peep and left as peacefully as he arrived. After a short 10 days of coconut oil application for healing, and a month's worth of healing for my wife, she felt an impulse to try again one night, and lo and behold there was no more pain. Dr. Rumack is EXCEPTIONAL. read more
