He was actually my second opinion, and I finally felt confident to proceed with the keyhole surgery after meeting him. It was a smooth procedure with less pain and a fast recovery.

Dr. Nada was extremely thorough, caring, and professional throughout the whole process. Looking back, I wish we had done this much earlier when my baby was under a month old—it would have made my breastfeeding journey so much smoother.After the release, we immediately noticed a big difference. My baby feeds much better now, drinking milk from the bottle is easier, and swallowing solids has also improved within a few days. I’m also hopeful to see her relatch soon.Thank you, Dr. Nada, for guiding us through this journey and for your genuine care. I highly recommend Dr. Nada and his clinic to any parent considering a tongue tie release for their baby.Siti AnisdaSiti Anisda ★★★★★ Dear Dr. Nada, Dr Chong, Assunta Team and Pantai Team,I and husband just wanted to extend our sincere gratitude for the excellent care you provided during my son's tongue-tie procedure on 23 September 2025.
