Dr. Zaghi and The Breathe Institute are angels to my family! My daugter was 3 when COVID hit. At that time, she had a tongue tie and had incessant ear infections such that she has scarring on her ear drum. She woke up angry and depressed every day. We tried and tried to seek help for respiratory and behavioral/learning problems. She had extreme inattentiveness and hyperactivity such that we thought she had ADHD. We ended up doing the tongue tie release through a local dentist before I learned about Dr. Zaghi. The release helped at first, and then most symptoms returned. No local ENT offered any help other than steroids. I learned about Dr. Zaghi one night when I was researching tongue tie and best practices. His YouTube channel with educational presentations really spoke to my daughter's condition. I confirmed his expertise by speaking with my dental hygenist who is Dr. Zaghi-trained. I decided that I would support my daughter in going through The Breathe Institute diagnostic process. We did two sleep studies (before and after tongue tie release) and a CBCT scan. Thereafter, we did a zoom consultation with Dr. Zaghi and tried conservative treatment for 6 months. We then followed up by zoom, and later in person. Dr. Zaghi was the first doctor who listened to my daughter and observed her needs. He diagnosed her with Upper Airway Retrictive Syndrome. We traveled in from NY state for an in-person consultation, and the office worked with my family on every aspect of the process so it could be as easy for my family as possible. We ended up bringing my younger daughter for a consultation as well. In the end, both daughters received surgery by Dr. Zaghi about 5 weeks ago. Both are doing wonderfully well! Dr. Zaghi predicted the challenges that she would face in recovery and supported us with very helpful guidance. Most of my older daughter's ADHD symptoms have significantly abated. She is able to speak and smile so much more than she was before. She is a much happier girl, and we are a much happier family all around because my kids can sleep better now. We owe it all to Dr. Zaghi and his team. I had never even heard of myology before I started this process. We would not go anywhere else - they are life-changing! Thank you so much!

In the end, listen to your dentist and consider your and your child's tongue and sleep breathing. Remember: Tongue up, lips closed... healthy breathing through the nose ❤️🧡👅💋

We are extremely happy with the care we received with not only Dr. Zaghi and his staff but the nurse and the anesthesiologist at the surgery center were amazing!
They made us feel comfortable and confident that my baby would be getting the best care and treatment.
We highly recommend The breath institute for so many reasons! Very happy and we look forward to our continued care with them.
Forever a breath institue patient as well as my entire family.

Dr Zaghi & staff were all very professional during my initial consultation. Dr is very wise & thorough & seems to genuinely care about his patients. His whole staff echos his sentiment.

I should have more to report after I have my surgeries & can hopefully breathe. 🙏

We are very pleased with this dental clinic. The atmosphere here is nothing like an ordinary doctor’s office, which makes it very easy to bring children—they quickly developed trust in Dr. Nora and her assistants. We had a couple of procedures done for our 3-year-old daughter here and learned how to take care of her teeth to avoid such procedures in the future.

Dr. Nora was more than helpful. We had a virtual consultation with Dr Nora due to a previous tongue tie release with less than ideal results (completed by a Dr local to us). Dr Nora was incredibly knowledgeable and able to give us appropriate steps to help our little baby. We are grateful we found her!

I’m incredibly grateful to Dr. Coppelson and his staff for not only identifying the root cause of my longstanding breathing issues, but also providing a solution that has given me so much hope. The time and attention he dedicates to his patients are far beyond what you typically experience in a doctor’s visit. He is exceptionally thorough, patient, and truly invested in his patients’ well-being. He is one of the few doctors I would fully trust to perform a procedure on me, and I’ve already recommended him to several friends. Thank you 🙏

We are just beginning our journey with the Breathe Institute, but so far we could not be more grateful for the professionalism, kindness and support we have received thus far. Feel like we are on the right track too helping our son thrive. Thank you Jen Rodriguez and team for making our first experience so positive. Look forward to seeing results as we continue our treatment plan. Thank you!

My husband and I paid The Breathe institute and Dr. Zaghi to remove my son’s adenoids along with frenectomy, tonsillectomy and turbinate reduction per Zaghi’s medical recommendation. He did not remove the adenoids even though surgical notes say they performed a full adenoidectomy. Our bill states full tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy for $4500 out of pocket cost. They did not discuss or admit to leaving them, we had found out 8 months post op from follow up airway consultation for continued sleep apnea and obstructive airway complexities. Our findings showed the adenoids were the same size- grade 3, which happened to be the same as when they deemed them a concern and operable. When Dr. Zaghi was confronted he was rude and dismissive, admitting he didn’t remove them but partially shaved them which was not indicated or a part of the agreed upon treatment plan. In addition, further palate reconstruction was performed without our knowledge or consent. There was no medical consent or emergency concern that warranted him to make such a drastic surgical decision per the medical and surgical notes. We did not feel like we were treated with care or kindness and were left with a child still struggling with airway, sleep apnea, deep pain and now trauma. I would not recommend their services based on our experience.
