When a Flower Mound family had a baby that was struggling to breastfeed, the attending physician informed them their infant was tongue-tied.

Kids love trick-or-treating and, let’s not kid ourselves, even grownups can appreciate some Halloween fun in Flower Mound. Who doesn’t like crazy costumes and candy?

You might think, “Hey, […]
Did you know that kids in Texas have among the highest rates of tooth decay in the country? In 2008, 73 percent of third graders had experienced tooth decay, yet only 42 percent had received treatment for their cavities. While the Lonestar State is too large for me to save alone, I do my best […]
Dr. Duffy’s 2018 Jungle Jam patient appreciation party is officially in the books! A very big thank you to everyone that came out and helped celebrate with us. Everyone on our team had a blast at the Jungle Jam – with the petting zoo and food vendors being highlights for us. It was great to […]
