Svetlana McGrath ARNP DNP IBCLC

Svetlana McGrath has a Doctorate in Nursing Degree and for the last 9 years she has been working as a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner providing care to infant patients and their parents in various settings: labor and delivery, post-partum, newborn nursery, pediatric units, NICU, and lactation outpatient clinics. Additionally, Svetlana is an Internationally Board-Certified Lactation Consultant and has training in physical therapy and massage. She has been recognized as one of the leading specialists in tongue-tie evaluation and tongue-tie release/frenotomy procedures at Seattle Childrens hospital and successfully has performed close to 1000 procedures.

Svetlana attributes her expertise and knowledge in the field of newborn care and lactation to working alongside with her wonderful colleagues in Neonatology, Pediatrics and Lactation at Seattle Children’s Hospital, Overlake Medical Center, Providence Regional Medical Center, and Valley Medical Center and thousands of infants and families she worked with over the last 9 years. Svetlana is very blessed by being mentored by Dr O’Hara, the guru of lactation education and frenotomy procedures in Washington state and learning from Dr Ghahery and Dr Hazelbaker. Of course, she could not have done it without her husband and her two beautiful children who taught her how to breastfeed them all the way up to 2.5 years of life.

Svetlana is very proud and honored to take care of you and your newborn angel.
