Frequently Asked Questions
Learn more about what we do and who we treat!
Q. Are your sessions in person or virtual?
A. All sessions are conducted via telemedicine, however, I am based in Albuquerque, NM.
​​
​
Q. Do you only treat patients who are local to you?
A. Because all sessions are virtual, I can treat patients anywhere in the world!

​
Q. How old are your patients?
A. Myofunctional therapy requires a commitment to consistent practice and the ability to understand and follow directions for exercises given, therefore, the youngest patients I treat are 5 years old. Many adults have myofunctional disorders from unidentified and untreated childhood issues and can benefit greatly from myofunctional therapy.
​
​
Q. What if my child is younger than age 5 and I have concerns about their development or function?
A. Please reach out to me via email to discuss your child's case. I do offer a limited myofunctional therapy program geared towards children ages 2-5, but there may be other providers better suited to care for your child. I can assist in referring you to the appropriate providers if necessary.
​
​
Q. Do I need a referral?
A. While a referral can be very helpful, especially for collaborating with other providers for your care, it is not necessary to have a referral. I will conduct a comprehensive examination to determine if myofunctional therapy is right for you.
​
Q. Can you help me find other providers who can assist with my/my child's care?
A. Absolutely! We can work together to determine your care needs and I am happy to collaborate with all providers throughout the process.
​
​
Q. Do you accept insurance?
A. Unfortunately, myofunctional therapy is not covered under any dental insurance plans and medical insurance provides very little, if any coverage. Therefore, I am not in network with any insurance companies, however, I am happy to provide a superbill so that you may submit to your medical insurance company independently for possible reimbursement.
