This review is overdue--long overdue. ...and it's long! I've struggled to find words that match the…read moredepth of my gratitude, and even now, this will surely fall short. TL;DR: Amazing place, the best in the Charlotte area, call and get in while you can. Our family has been part of the Speak to Me NC community for a few years now (collectively, between both of our children). I can say without hesitation: they are the very best at what they do. This privately owned practice, run by a wonderful husband-and-wife team, provides physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech, feeding therapy, and more. Their compassion, expertise, and the way they care for families make them a rare gift to this community. Over the years, our children have needed nearly every service they offer--OT, PT, speech, feeding, and more. We've gotten to know every single member of the staff, and without exception, they are A-players. From the owners, to the office manager, to the therapists and support staff--they're the only team I would ever trust with my kids. We started with (and still see) Heather for OT, who is an absolute Godsend. She's not just an amazing therapist, but a kind human, a mom who gets it, and a true ally for families. When I asked my toddler what he liked most about Ms. Heather, he said: "She plays with me and teaches me with toys I like." My daughter added: "Because she loves me and cares about me." That says it all. But here's the thing: every therapist here embodies the same qualities. They bring: - Consistency - No revolving door of providers. Kids build real relationships. - Genuine care - They celebrate even the smallest victories. - A child-centered approach - Therapy is fun, flexible, and led by the child's interests. - Collaboration - Parents, teachers, and doctors are included and supported. - Expertise - Creative, research-backed, and effective strategies. - Family empowerment - Parents leave with tools and confidence to carry therapy into daily life. One of the greatest lessons I've learned here is that therapy isn't just for your child--it's for you, too. Dropping off your child and resuming life as usual misses the point. Progress happens when parents lean in: watching, asking questions, learning strategies, and weaving therapy into everyday life. Speak to Me NC has taught me how to do that. Because of this team, I've grown alongside my children. I understand them better, I support them more confidently, and I see their independence and self-esteem blooming. I cannot overstate my gratitude for this practice. They are extraordinary. They are compassionate. They are skilled. And they are truly the best.

It…read moretook a while for them to call me to schedule an evaluation, and once we got an evaluation they were not flexible with working my schedule. As a matter of fact they permanently scheduled me on a thursday called me back the day before the appointment and stated they had lapsed appointments and I would not be able to be on thursdays and the only day they had was wednesday which was one of the only days I expressed I couldn't do but I eventually made it work. Then my daughter starts her sessions and does two and the therapist quits and they call me to let me know they will be in contact with me when they get a new therapist. I waited a couple of weeks and called for an update, left a message and heard nothing back. After 3 weeks of waiting I called back talked to someone and was told the scheduler was in a meeting and would call me back immediately when she was out its been 3 business days and I have heard nothing back. I will not be going back to this place, I do not recommend it what so ever!

Today I get a call from Jessica, the director of operations. She was yelling at me on the phone, telling me they cannot provide billing statements that I've received previously in the mail. I said I am the customer and you are yelling at me. She went on to say that I am no longer a customer and she's turning my bill over to collections. Here I am trying to find resolution and because I have questions about my son's bill and want the actual billing statements that I've once received but sadly did not keep. I am being treated like garbage. Jessica hung up on me. I called back and was talking to another person in the billing dept when Jessica grabbed the phone, told me to not call back again and hung up on me again. Once again I am trying to get resolution. I've called a few more times and no one will return my calls or emails. The therapists are great, but management is awful!!

I was referred to this endodontist by my dentist and paid $375 for the consultation and X-rays. My…read morebiggest issue is that I was not informed before the appointment that the office does not offer any financing options for treatment. Had I known this beforehand, I likely would have chosen a different provider. Since endodontic procedures can cost thousands of dollars, I assumed financing would be available, as it is offered by many dental and specialty offices. After learning there were no financing options, I expressed my frustration because I felt I had wasted both my time and my mother's money on a consultation that would not lead to treatment. When I brought up my concern, I was told the information was in the paperwork I signed. In the fine print. While that may be true, I believe something as important as payment and financing options should be communicated clearly before patients spend hundreds of dollars on an evaluation. The interaction left me feeling dismissed rather than understood. My purpose in sharing this review is to encourage the office to be more transparent about financing policies upfront so patients can make informed decisions before committing to the cost of a consultation.

I cannot express enough how grateful we are for Ms. Amanda and the incredible impact she has had on our son's speech development. When he first started therapy at the age of 2.5, he had only 25 words. With Ms. Amanda's guidance, patience, and expertise, he has made remarkable progress and graduated from speech therapy just shy of his 6th birthday. Her engaging and nurturing approach made each session enjoyable for our son, and her encouragement helped him gain confidence in his communication skills. We truly couldn't have done this without her dedication and support. Ms. Amanda has changed our son's life, and we will always be thankful for her commitment and kindness. Highly recommend her to anyone seeking speech therapy! read more

My son who is on the Austism Spectrum had the pleasure of having Amanda as his Speech Therapist and Maddie as his Occupational Therapist. These ladies are so sweet, beautiful personalities, and always smiling. They always kept me encouraged and made me feel welcomed. These ladies worked with him for about two years and he made tremendous strides. They had so much patience with him and took the time to teach him things at his pace. They were wonderful and I would highly recommend these two ladies to other families. read more

My son saw Amanda and got him from saying zero words to speaking full and clear sentences! Amanda is patient, she is fun and she is 100% devoted to the children that she works with. Truthfully, our family was sad at graduation day because although he was ready to graduate, we knew we would miss Amanda so much! My dad is an educator of 30+ years and has worked with many therapists and still brings up how impressive Amanda is. Cannot recommend her enough for all of your speech therapy needs! read more

Ms. Maddie and Ms. Amanda are THE best OT and speech therapist my son has ever seen. While previous therapists have felt very clinical, Maddie and Amanda have always treated my son like family. They are so knowledgeable in their respective fields and have the patience and kindness needed to treat my son. They make each appointment fun, engaging and suited to the needs of my son. I would recommend each of them to anyone looking for the best SLP or OT in Mooresville! read more

He loves the paintings in the WIC waiting room and the blue couches. He is not shy around the staff, he's very happy coming here and looks forward to it. We went just today and front end staff was helpful and quick getting us in. My son was cooperative because the sweet lady, Marta, was so kind and understanding toward him and talking to him to let him know everything we were doing/what to expect. It made a huge difference. She was very patient too. Then after that, our Nutritionalist, Holly, helped us from that point on. She was like sunshine!

She was so sweet and loving, and it was actually such a great experience going there today. I highly recommend this place for your littles!!!! They are so helpful here and accommodating.
