Patient Testimonials

My wife and I have had the good luck of having Dr. Thuet’s expert advice for both of our babies. Each of our babies were born premature, but the first required a NICU stay of a few weeks during the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020.
We have had a simpler time breastfeeding, less stress, and better sleep because of her advice. Thank you Dr. Thuet!
Nate & Kait
Dr. Thuet literally saved me! The first few weeks of having a newborn rocked my world. She dropped everything she was doing on a Sunday with her family just to come and sit by my side and show me exactly what I needed to be doing. This changed my breastfeeding journey, and I continued my journey for 13 months. I can’t thank her enough!
Heather

After a phone consult where I was able to describe my situation without feeling rushed as one may in a hospital setting, she clearly laid out her services, specialties and expertise and how she could help me specifically. Coming to my house was a huge benefit and relief. Instantly I felt comfortable with her and supported by her.

Erin
The techniques she taught us dramatically increased our success.  She was kind, supportive, and empathetic to what we were going through.  She ensured us that it was not our fault and that we just needed help with how to best get our little one to latch.   She is the best. Thank you Dr. Thuet!
James
Dr. Thuet was also an invaluable resource when I was navigating going back to work at a demanding full-time job. My goal was to continue pumping to maintain full supply despite how busy work was, and she helped me navigate the logistics of how and when to pump at work and how to advocate for my time to pump at work.
I'm very thankful for Dr. Thuet's support. My son and I would not have had such a successful 2-year breastfeeding journey without her.
Megan
Utilizing Dr. Thuet’s compassionate, comprehensive services spared me, my partner, and my baby innumerable obstacles. She helped me navigate some of the most arduous, vulnerable days of my life as a newly minted mother. Together we navigated an overactive milk ejection reflex, oversupply, latch difficulty/technique, facilitating bonding, and PURPLE crying. My partner and I cannot express how invaluable her support and expertise were during those first few weeks.  We are forever grateful!
Emily
As a mother, struggling to produce milk and breastfeed is physically exhausting but can also be emotionally devastating.  I reached a point when I considered stopping altogether due to the toll it was taking on me. Fortunately, I found the help of Dr. Thuet.  She helped me every step of the way to improve latching, educated me on proper nipple care and pumping/feeding methods to improve my milk production, and most importantly, provided support and encouragement through my struggles.
Kait

She is literally amazing! She was very helpful and helped me with all of the breastfeeding issues I was having! Will definitely keep going to her!

Kierra

I’m so glad to have found Dr. Christina! She is very knowledgeable about breastfeeding and everything that entails it! Highly recommend her for all breastfeeding needs!

Breonna

I am so glad I made the decision to meet with Dr Thuet today to create a game plan for pumping upon my return to work. I was extremely overwhelmed and anxious about pumping beforehand, and she talked me through everything I could need to know. She left both me & my partner set up for success to EBF our son once I'm back to work. Thank you so much!

Shelby

Dr. Thuet was so helpful in our breastfeeding journey. Her advice and tips helped us tremendously and we are so grateful for her guidance and prompt response.

Moriah

She expedited everything to make sure I was taken care of during this critical breastfeeding moment. Super grateful for her quick response and expertise. I learned so much during that initial consultation, saw immediate results, and easily made it through the engorgement period with my newborn.

Taylor

I really appreciated her coming to my home and evaluating me and my baby. I was hesitant to bother her by texting questions but she reached out to follow up and see how things were going so I felt comfortable texting my questions.

H

Dr. Thuet got me in the same day, did a thorough work up and gave me actionable changes that multiple visits to the hospital lactation specialists never could and then followed up closely to make sure we were succeeding. I didn’t believe it was possible - but within 5 days my nipples were healed and my baby and I were thriving breast feeding.

Lara

Absolutely love Dr. Thuet. Highly recommend her to any mother for breastfeeding guidance! She truly helped me through my breastfeeding journey two times around. Thank you so much, Dr. Thuet!

Kaitlan

Doctor Thuet has been super attentive to me. She made a home visit and took the time to answer all my questions and explain everything. I saw an immediate difference with all the suggestions she gave me in my body and in my daughter. Very willing to help and follow up. Very grateful and 100% recommended.

Maria

While we just met Dr. Thuet for our initial consultation for some feeding challenges after discharge, we can already tell we are in very capable hands. As a healthcare professional, I greatly appreciate Dr. Thuet’s approach, which balances compassion with a pragmatic and evidence-based approach to helping our little family see a path to success with breastfeeding.

Theresa

Dr. Thuet’s exceptional expertise in pediatric care and breastfeeding was a lifeline during the challenging moments of my breastfeeding journey. Her support and insightful advice proved invaluable, turning hurdles into manageable steps and instilling a sense of confidence in me.

Candie

I loved my experience with Dr. Thuet. She guided me through building up my supply, weaning off formula, and maintaining supply.

I’ve gone to other lactation consultants and received very “one-size-fits-all” recommendations that didn’t work for my specific situation. Dr. Thuet personalized my plan based on my history and thoughtful questions, and now I feel confident in the breastfeeding journey I have ahead of me.

Dru

Dr. Thuet was truly an incredible asset during my breastfeeding journey. She helped us increase supply through a short stay in the NICU, where we were advised to do mostly bottle feeds. She was non-judgmental when I made the decision at one month to strictly pump.

Elizabeth

Dr. Thuet is amazing! I would highly recommend working with her if you have any problems with lactation. She takes the time to listen to your concerns and works with you to create a plan that is sustainable.

Alexis

I met with Dr. Thuet for a prenatal appointment. I’m having my third kid and didn’t have a successful breastfeeding experience. Meeting with Dr. Thuet gave me hope that my experience this time around can be so much better.

Emily

I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Thuet, and I can't recommend her highly enough! She helped me out with my first kid and second kid. She made me feel comfortable and supported. Her extensive knowledge and expertise in breastfeeding and pumping helped me navigate the challenges I faced as a new and second time mother.

Sally

Dr. Christina Thuet is amazing! Her background and experience is so apparent when you work with her. She was so incredibly helpful and thorough. I was able to see and feel improvements in my breastfeeding immediately! I will be recommending her to all my fellow mom friends!

Corin

Dr. Thuet has been indispensable during the first few months with our daughter. She meets us right where we are and thoughtfully explains options and the reasoning behind them.
