Meet the Team

Introducing Orange County's premiere CO2 laser frenectomy center for infants with a one of a kind, never before seen team, consisting of California's first children’s dentist to become an IBCLC lactation consultant Dr. Rosanne Berger, DDS, IBCLC; bestselling author and social media expert lactation consultant Danielle Gauss, IBCLC, "The Booby Fairy"; frenectomy trained infant Chiropractor Dr. Michelle Weaver, DC, IBCLC. Together these three have created the Tongue Tie Tribe. Unlike most tongue tie release centers which may take a more aggressive approach, our focus is to see the baby as a whole, and treat our patients in the most gentle, holistic, conservative approach possible. We focus on strengthening baby’s tongue to optimize functionality of tongue function; We create personalized feeding plans by recommended the best possible bottles to use with your baby and/or nursing positions. By creating a custom and personalized plan, sometimes baby can gain optimal function and not require a frenectomy. If baby requires a frenectomy, optimizing tongue function can ensure faster and more efficient healing. We look at healthcare in a preventative approach. Tongue ties can effect a person their entire life and have been linked to: Sleep Apnea, enlarged adenoids and tonsils, TMJ disorders and pain, migraines and headaches, slow growth, poor sleep, picky eating, speech issues, orthodontic issues, ear infections, tonsillectomies, even ADHD. Our primary focus is aftercare. No other center offers chiropractic bodywork with personalized lactation visit follow-ups. Parenting is hard enough without the confusion of contrasting opinions. It takes a village, so we welcome you and your family to our tribe.
