    If I could , I would give Dr. Thomas 6 stars. This is a review for all those parents who don't know what to do when their **new borns** are been breastfed and the latching is not ok, or if your babies are jaundiced without apparent reason after a week or days of been born. Tongue and/or lip tie might be the reason (of course it's always wise to ask you pediatrician first) Allegro Pediatrics and Overlake OHMC recommended us to seek help from Dr. Thomas four our little one. Best decision ever! (Note: no referral is needed to visit health:latch) Other pediatricians use the old fashion way by clipping the tongue, but not all of the pediatricians will take care of lip tied. This is when Dr. Thomas magic takes place since he uses this unique technique: laser. Dr. Thomas patiently explained us that taking care of this condition not only helps with latching but also will avoid long term problems with speech, breathing, and even potty training! I also have to mention (and Dr. Thomas will also tell you right away) they don't work with any insurance. This means you have to pay upfront; however they will provide all the codes and invoices needed so you can request your own insurance reimbursement. (Haven't done it yet, I'll keep you posted) AND WAIT! there's more!! The cherry on the cake is that Dr. Thomas works with a excellent lactation consultant, Terry Gilbert RN IBCLC. We met her two years ago when she worked with OHMC, so it was a pleasant surprise to seeing her again. She can assess and support with her eyes closed to any mama that need help with breastfeeding. She's an angel! So, in a few words, after seeing Dr. Thomas you will not only have a healthy baby, you'll have a personalized medical advice.

    I'm a first time mom and had my son 12/24/2021. We exclusively breastfeed but it was painful. After seeing a lactation consultant she mentioned he "may have a lip tie but his tongue looks fine." I had trouble trusting that statement but she got him to latch on well so I assumed she was right. Two days later he went back to a shallow latch and I started to notice other symptoms that all pointed to a potential bigger issue. Lots of gas, spit up, falling asleep almost immediately at the breast, nursing for sometimes an hour or more and of course the nipple pain. After almost three weeks of this, I started doing some research and found Dr. Thomas at health:latch. With the convenient texting system I was able to text with him directly, which is so nice being a busy mom! We had our appointment two days after I had messaged him which is very impressive, I thought we would have had to wait a couple weeks! Our appointment was 01/18/2022. Dr. Thomas and his team are some of the most amazing people my husband and I have met. You're more than just a patient at health:latch, you're family. At our first visit, Dr. Thomas and his assistant Britt spent about 40 minutes educating us on the background of health:latch, all about oral ties and the issues they can cause. They took pictures of the inside of our sons mouth and explained that he was both tongue tied but also lip tied and told us step by step how the frenectomy would be done. My husband and I decided to have the procedure done. Dr. Thomas and Britt told us it would take just a couple of minutes and for me to get ready to nurse. They gave me a nursing pillow and had a rocking chair to sit in. Sure enough, within two minutes our son was back and wasn't even crying. We got him on the breast and he was able to nurse right away. I spent about 30 mins nursing him when it used to take an hour plus! We were already noticing a difference. We were instructed on oral exercises we had to do 4 times a day for 4 weeks. These take maybe a minute and I'm able to nurse him after each time which really helps calm him down after! Later in the day after we were home, our son was fairly fussy and hard to calm down which isn't like him. We were given the okay and dosage for infant Tylenol which helped him so much! He nursed most of the day for comfort and took a lot more naps than normal, which is to be expected. The next morning he was back to his old self and still nursing so much better! We had our day two follow up 01/20/2022 where we met with Katie who helped with his latch and gave me some tips to try at home if we have troubles! She did a weighted feed with him and said he is eating well and gaining appropriate weight! There is usually this follow up and then one more day 6/7 but our little guy was going so well they graduated him from the clinic! We were told if we wanted we could do a video appointment later on or could text any photos or videos with any questions we may have! Overall, I cannot recommend health:latch enough. If your instinct is telling you something is going on with your baby, you're probably right and Dr. Thomas is here to support and listen to you in that! If you're hesitant to reach out to him, just do it! It will be worth it and can save your feeding journey and benefit your child so much now and in the future! Thank you Dr. Thomas, Britt and Katie!

    Dr. Thomas was amazing from the first text he sent to the follow up a couple weeks later! He takes great pride in his profession and for a good reason. He educated my husband and myself about our daughters revision and even spoke with my husband about his tongue tie. I couldn't recommend him enough, a bonus is he sends you all the forms to submit to insurance!!

    We have been to a lot of children's dentists to find the right fit for my kiddo with autism…read more He has had some not great experiences with other providers and developed some pretty severe anxiety when it came to going to the dentist. The office is SO accommodating for my very nervous son. They meet him where he is at and respect his boundaries. They take the time to earn his trust and never try and pull a fast one on him. He actually can get his exam and a cleaning and it's such a relief to know he can get the care he needs. Dr. Aimee is absolutely incredible, the techs are all so sweet, and the front office is super helpful and even lets my kiddo peek at their office equipment. I'm so glad we found Kirkland children's dentistry. It one less thing I have to worry about when trying to navigate my kiddo's care.

    Milla's first dentist appt went well. She just turned two and she now likes the dentist. She was…read moreunsure at first but after being given some frozen stickers and a new toothbrush she warmed up. She was on my lap with her head on the dentist's lap. When the first started looking in her mouth she said "mommy help, I need help mommy!" But they quickly started singing songs to her and she laid there calmly as they checked her mouth. Then it was so funny when they cleaned her teeth because she kept trying to lick the cotton candy tooth paste and she would say " it is yummy mommy, it is so good". Afterwards they gave her a prize. I really like this place the staff is friendly and great with kids. The place is very inviting for a child, the tv was playing tangled, there were lot of toys for my kids to play with. I was worried about the first visit and it went well.
