As an IBCLC it is crucial to have the opportunity to collaborate with care providers to support parents and babies to become competent with feedings and developmental stages. I feel fortunate to have Dr. Lindsey McElligott of Lexington Smiles to refer clients to for excellent care and the best outcome. I appreciate her energy, professionalism and outstanding skill set. To compliment the experience, the staff at Lexington Smiles is hands down the most helpful and compassionate. I affectionately refer to their practice as 'The A Team'."

Everyone was amazing from my first phone call to ask questions all the way to post procedure. Everyone here makes you feel so comfortable. Place is very clean. Dr McElligott did an amazing lip/tongue tie release on my 5 month old.

Dr. McElligott is seriously the best there is when it comes to oral ties! We went to her three years ago for our first child, and she did her tongue release. As first time parents, she put our mind completely at ease, the procedure was quick, and she was very thorough in the aftercare instructions and answered all of our many, many questions! Fast forward three and a half years, and she just recently revised our second baby’s lip tie and we were much more confident this time around because we knew our child was in great hands. Healing has been perfect with both children, and we cannot recommend her enough! Her team is also incredibly friendly. As a parent, you want the best care for your child- let this review speak to you, because you’ve found it with Dr. McElligott!."

Dr. McElligott is incredible! As a first time mom with a newborn struggling to nurse and all the emotions that go with it she made me feel comfortable and heard. She not only asked questions about my son, but also took an interest in how I was doing as well! The procedure was explained in detail and was very quick. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. We live 90 minutes away and the entire experience was worth the drive! Highly recommend!"

My daughter had a tongue tie release completed. Scheduling was quick and staff was responsive. Dr. McElligott was thorough with her exam and explained things so well to ensure husband and I understood the recommendations. The procedure was great, the staff was great with my daughter and they reviewed the exercises to ensure we were set up for success."

“We had a great experience with Dr. McElligott for my son’s releases. The visit was positive as she was super friendly and knowledgeable. She answered all of our questions and made us feel at ease despite having anxiety leading up to the appointment."

Kayla E.

I took my newborn in for a tongue tie and lip tie. Dr. McElligott was very professional and kind. She explained the procedure to me and expectations for after. She and her staff were great. They provided information on post-op care and showed me in the office how to perform the exercises on the surgery sites. Dr. McElligott also followed up the same day after I got home with the baby to check on how we were doing. I would recommend Dr. McElligott to anyone looking for a this procedure for themselves or their children.”

Kristina B.

We had such a wonderful experience with Dr. McElligott. She was so kind and really explained everything well and made sure my husband and I were informed before making the decision to go ahead with the lip and tongue tie procedure for our newborn. She was caring and even texted us that night to check in and make sure our son was doing ok and asked if we had any questions. 10/10 service and would recommend her to everyone."

Why co2 laser
treatment is better

By utilizing a state-of-the-art C02 laser, we are able to fully release the lip and tongue-ties quickly, easily and completely. Laser treatment helps minimize discomfort and promotes faster healing. Plain and simple, it is the kinder and gentler solution for lip and tongue-ties.
