Catherine Quintero
M.A., CCC-SLP, IBCLC

Hello! I am a dual certified speech-language pathologist (SLP), Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), owner of Lactation and Pediatric Oral Dysfunction Consultants, LLC and a mom. I utilize a unique blend of expertise in lactation and feeding/swallowing disorders to empower families while breastfeeding and navigating the progression to solid foods. I obtained my Bachelor’s degree from the University of Tennessee-Knoxville and my Master’s degree from the University of Central Florida in Speech-Language Pathology. I have practiced in a number of settings including acute care, outpatient rehabilitation, and private practice. I have worked extensively with individuals across the lifespan including infants and toddlers, preschoolers, and adults. I specialize in the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of pediatric feeding and swallowing disorders.
