A parent testimonial about TapTalkSLP:

"We're so thankful we found Michelle! After having no luck finding an insurance approved place with availability. we decided to go private pay and I'm so glad we did. Michelle noticed an important issue that not one dentist or doctor had ever mentioned, and after getting it corrected, the improvement has been incredible. We can't thank her enough for helping our child. We plan to continue with individual sessions once everything has healed. Highly recommend Michelle to any parent looking for help for their child"
