Dr. Chelsea Pinto, DDS 20301 Ventura Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 91364

"I cannot recommend Dr. Pinto enough! When my son was born, he had extreme difficulty with feeding which ultimately led him to the hospital & a surgical placement of a feeding tube in his stomach. Our concerns about his tongue mobility were ignored by many doctors until we found Dr. Pinto. She (and her equally amazing staff) were so compassionate and understanding, and really took the time to listen to our concerns. She is extremely knowledgeable and trustworthy. She looked in our sons mouth and immediately discovered that he had a “very significant” tongue tie. She took us under her wing, was so supportive all the way through, and now post tongue-tie release our son is growing, thriving, is such a happy eater, and has been off of his feeding tube for almost 6 months now. We are SO grateful to have met Dr. Pinto, because we know it was her care and expertise that helped our son out of the woods. Thank you for everything, Dr. Pinto! Having your child go through some very serious medical issues can be really scary and feel very isolating, so it’s SO comforting knowing that there are gems like Dr. Pinto out there to support you. Attached picture is from graduation day post- release! ❤️"

"We took both of our sons to see Dr Pinto for an evaluation. Our eldest didn’t have a tongue tie, but she was super helpful with exercises to help him with his suck and mobility. Our second son did have a tongue tie which she released (frenectomy). It was a quick process, took only a few mins, and healed very quickly. It’s improved his feeding significantly. Dr Pinto is super warm, professional and someone I trust completely to have our best interests at heart. She also has a medical grade light laser to help with healing. I would travel across the country to see her (!) though I’m fortunate she is 45 mins down the road. The office is super sweet, beautiful, bright and clean. The staff are warm and professional. We loved our visits and encourage all of our new parent friends to go see her. You can trust she will not recommend unnecessary procedures and will take great care of your family."

"Where do I even start?! Dr. Pinto is AMAZING! She really listens and takes her time with her patients. My son James was 8 months when I noticed he was not latching correctly to nurse. I was referred to Dr. Pinto and she confirmed that he had a pretty bad lip and tongue tie. At our next visit she did the procedure and James did great! The next day Dr. Pinto reached out to us to make sure that James was doing okay. She is really personable, warm and can explain things in an easy way. I felt confident in her ability to treat my child. If you’re looking for a sign to help choose your child’s Doctor then this is it! Not only is Dr. Pinto the best but her office staff is equally just as friendly and kind. Overall, AMAZING experience for such a tough situation. We traveled from Whittier and it was worth every mile! Thank you Dr. Pinto and Team!"

"Dr. Pinto and her staff are absolutely amazing! I cannot thank them enough for the incredible care and customer service they provided while releasing my daughter's tongue tie. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism. Dr. Pinto took the time to explain the procedure, post surgery care and answer all of my questions, which immediately put me at ease. The entire process was smooth, and the level of attention and compassion shown by Dr. Pinto and her staff was truly exceptional. I highly recommend Dr. Pinto to any parent seeking expert care for their child in need of a frenectomy release. Thank you for your outstanding service, treating my daughter with such great care and for making a difference in our lives!"

"She was incredible! My pediatrician and a lactation consultant didn’t see what she could instantly. She was able to help my two month olds tongue tie that was “short” which was causing bleeding and unbearable pain for me. I knew this was not normal as my first son had no problem breastfeeding and everything looked the same on the latch. She was so personable, reassuring and truly made me felt seen as a mother. It’s worth paying out of pocket and seeing her. Even to give you peace of mind knowing you’ve tried everything to make breastfeeding work if that’s on your heart to do. She followed up with me and so great from the consultation to post op. It only took 30 seconds of my son leaving the room having the tie fixed and back to me to breastfeed. I INSTANTLY Felt a difference. Coming up at his one year birthday and excited to share he is still exclusively breastfeeding! Thank you Dr.Pinto!!"
