Alisa Sacker MD, IBCLC
I first became interested in ties when my teenage daughter had her braces removed at the end of her orthodontic treatment. Her orthodontist used a laser to remove her upper lip tie as I watched. A light bulb went off in my head and I finally understood why the two of us had such issues breastfeeding. I then checked her tongue and, of course, found a significant posterior tie. That started my journey.
Originally, I was with Kaiser Permanente as a partnered general pediatrician in the outpatient clinic and in the hospital NICU for over 20 years. While there, I started the first laser frenectomy program in San Diego for newborns. I also served as a board member of the International Association of Tongue Tie Professionals, IATP, where I used my passion to further educate other health professionals. After being unable to grow and expand the program, I resigned from Kaiser Permanente in 2017 and opened Team Tongue Tie. I am blessed to own a small medical practice focused on helping families by properly diagnosing and treating ties in babies, children, and adults.
