Report
My daughter had waterlase to her tongue tie with ikids. She went from being almost completely bottle fed to 100% breast fed. We were very happy with the Eve, the lactation consultant and the procedure itself. They were very quick to get back to us out of working hours when we had a query after the procedure.

Report
It was stressful and negative experience for us. It started off we were running late, we called to inform we will be there 15 mins pass our appointment. The moment we walked in, the receptionist told us 'oh it's been 20 mins late, I have to see if they can still see you'. Coming from retail background, this customer service standard to me, I feel is not very positive. My husband n I already said..it's ok..just fix these teeth and we won't come back anymore. I checked my phone, we were on the dot 15 mins. We understand this as they have their schedule to keep up. In the room, we were asked a

Can't thank Dr Tim and his team (especially IBCLC, Jacqui) enough! My daughter and I had struggled through breastfeeding and a posterior tongue tie for 3 months. Jacqui performed a thorough oral assessment, listened to our concerns and recommended laser. Dr Tim explained every part of the procedure and answered all our questions. Following the laser (total of about 5 minutes) my daughter was able to breastfeed amazingly! No more pain or injury to me! Yippee!! Great follow up care and service. Recommend to anyone struggling through breastfeeding and tongue tie issues!

Tim is a great dentist and he treated my son very well but his staff or the receptionist is not professional! Very rude and arrogant! They cancelled us 1 hour before our appointment. We are on our way to the clinic. We took a day off from our work and cancelled work appointments. The reason for the cancellation, they haven't seen my son for a year and other bs reasons just to bumped us to a later appointment. My son is in pain and needs to be seen as soon as it is possible. The receptionist lacked empathy and treats us as if we are just a number. We can easily understand if things like
