The Importance of Tongue-Tie Treatment

His work has not only improved the quality of life for his patients but has also set a standard in the industry for effective and compassionate care.
When to Scale Your Practice
One of the most pressing questions for healthcare professionals is knowing when to scale their practice. According to Dr. Baxter, the key is to assess patient demand and the business side of the operation. He suggests that a stand-alone tongue and lip-tie clinic becomes feasible when there is sufficient patient demand and the physical space is adequately designed for specialized treatment.

The Business Side of Tongue-Tie Clinics
Opening a tongue-tie clinic is not just about medical expertise; it also involves a deep understanding of the business aspects. Dr. Baxter reviews what the physical space should look like and how to manage the financial elements to ensure the clinic is both effective and profitable.
