Services: Why we're elite!
When babies or children have difficulty eating, drinking, taking in enough nutrition, or gaining enough weight, they and their caregivers need multiple specialists to help. We each have a long work history involving the assessment and treatment of feeding difficulties in hospital (acute care, NICU) and outpatient settings. We work together as a feeding team to provide a streamlined approach to helping these children/babies and their families. We also have close relationships with local pediatricians, ENTs, pediatric gastroenterologists, pediatric dentists, pediatric mental health providers, chiropractors/body workers, occupational therapists, and other primary care providers for a complete feeding team.
