Our Heart

Dr. A is passionate about helping children thrive. She has faced many of the issues Thrive House treats with her own children. That’s why she knows how frustrating it can be when patients are referred to so many different doctors. She wanted to bring together a community of doctors and patients to make everything more efficient and much easier.

Our Family

Thrive House is located in Dr. A’s first home which she and her husband bought in 2011. They started their family here and cannot wait to see it serve as a place for other families to thrive. Building off those memories, she’s added family pictures around the light switches to tie her family to yours.

Early Intervention Makes the Difference

Oral habits in growing children determine teeth, face, jaw, and airway development. Correcting poor habits early can transform a child’s present and future oral health. Through physical therapy of the oral musculature, myofunctional intervention remedies poor muscle function that would inevitably lead to diminished airway, misaligned teeth, and facial growth issues.

No Referrals Needed

Imagine not needing a referral to have your child seen by the doctors they need. Instead, your child’s health and wellness journey is streamlined with everything they need in one space.
