Thanks for the kind words!

In April I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Baxter for my daughter’s tie releases. I just have to say of all of the providers we’ve seen in the past for tie releases, Dr. Baxter has been the best.
He’s very knowledgeable (clearly, he wrote a book on the subject!), very in depth in his exam, and very caring of both the baby and the mom.
Since our appointment, I’ve had no hesitation recommending Alabama Tongue-Tie Center - Dr. Baxter & Dr. Trego to mamas who need a referral.

Dr. Baxter sees people from all over the world and trains providers as well!
