Why Otter?

Care That’s Personal — Because It’s Personal to Us

We started Otter Oral Care not just as a clinic, but as a calling. After years of treating tongue- and lip-ties in hospitals, and going through our own journey as parents facing feeding challenges, we knew families needed more clarity, more support, and more heart-centered expertise.
Michael brings over a decade of surgical experience, while our whole team brings the kind of thoughtful, skilled care we’d want for our own family — at every age.
