Dear Colleagues and Friends of the Center for TOTs,
Hoping you all had a wonderful summer! I am pleased to kickoff our monthly newsletter with TOTs Grand Rounds on interesting cases, the latest trends in TOTs and exciting news coming ahead!
We are proud to announce the opening of The Center for Tethered Oral Tissues NYC, a newly constructed, state of the art space in New York City’s Midtown, located at 7 West 45th Street and 5th Avenue. See below for pictures of the new office, and exciting information about how our collaboration with like-minded, Integrated Healthcare Professionals who share space in our office is helping offer the highest standard of care to babies, children and adults with TOTs! We also hope you schedule a visit with us, if you haven't done so already!
