In-home pediatric physical therapy was a HUGE help. They helped our son rediscover his tongue and helped loosen up his neck, shoulders, and back. They were safe with masks and gloves while still being personal and warm. There was also a great blend of in-person services and exercises/activities we could do at home to support his recovery.

I was referred to Dr. Tadros for my son's plagiocephaly. He was born prematurely with torticollis…read moreand it was affecting the shape of his head and his ability to latch/feed from a bottle, amongst other issues. We started working with Dr Tadros when he was about 7 weeks old... by 10 weeks my son was able to latch and was receiving most of his at home meals directly from me vs the bottle. When he was using the bottle, he was much more efficient and we weren't losing most of my pumped milk to his shirt! We've now been working together for 3 months and his head shape has drastically improved and he's stronger than ever -- he just loves tummy time! She also has given us tons of advice for at-home activities, toys and other supports. I'm actually not sure what we'd do at home with our kids, if it wasn't for her guidance. We're now working with Dr Tadros to help our daughter (they're twins) with some muscle tightness and feeding issues. At 16 weeks my daughter finally learned to latch, her clicking while on the bottle has stopped, and like her brother, she's much more efficient while feeding from the bottle. I can't recommend Dr Tadros enough. She has been a Godsend to our family!

This was our first baby -- not knowing what we didn't know, Colleen provided a regular and much…read moreneeded blend of factual and emotional support. Sometimes that was making sure I had coffee or that my partner got to go to the gym, and other times was about the theory and science of various parenting practices. She came to watch us at home and support what we truly needed and pushed us to try things to optimize our parenting behaviors. In addition, her local contacts put me on a solid breastfeeding plan when I was not producing milk and thought the situation was hopeless. We were with Colleen for two weeks and I truly believe that without this time and what we learned, it would have taken us months to get on solid footing. Colleen was a godsend and genuinely celebrated with us as we became better parents each day. I couldn't recommend her enough and do not think anyone should do this without her!

As first time parents, it was really important to us that the person taking care of our baby when we were working or out of the house was specifically experienced in working with tiny babies. Colleen was amazing. She was always super patient and kind. In addition to taking care of him, she gave us tips in areas like sleep, activities, and eating as he grew. We are grateful that she was the first person outside of our family to spend significant time with our son!

We have worked with Amanda (physical therapy) extensively and consulted with Sarah (occupational therapy) and both are truly exceptional practitioners. Amanda is extremely intelligent and gifted in her way with children. She is calm, caring, motivating and able to truly help the kids in her care develop their physical skills. She's easy going, silly and happy to laugh and play with the kids which allows them to build strength, coordination, and ability in a way that seems like pure play. Trusting Amanda with my child's gross motor development has been one of my best parenting decisions to day. Highly recommend Downtown Kids Therapy and their all star team of providers.

I'm posting an update to my initial review, since Linda has replied to it…read more 1. As I stated in my original review, Linda did honor our request that our son work with her. But it remains true that initially she had him working with different graduate students from week to week, and she did not discuss this with us first. We were charged the full amount as well. 2. I did ask for the worksheets to be sent to me, after discovering the website we'd been directed to wasn't working, but was told no by some of the therapists/students we'd worked with initially. Linda only stopped in briefly to check in during our sessions for the first month or so, and I barely had a chance to talk to her. Then when I did get to see Linda more and talked about the website not working, she told me to search for worksheets on Pinterest instead. I was very disappointed that this was her response. 3. If working on one sound at a time is standard, and having two sessions per week is also standard, I respect following that protocol. But neither Linda nor any of the therapists/students we worked with ever explained either of these issues to me as a treatment plan. In fact, we were told to expect the opposite, that his issues were minor and could be addressed with once weekly sessions in a limited time frame. In our last session, Linda expressed surprise at "discovering" another articulation issue. She said something like "Guess what we found," while as stated in my original review, this had already been identified in my son's initial evaluation. I've taken the time to compose these reviews only in hopes of sharing information with other parents seeking assistance for their children.

At the time we started attending my daughter's ability to understand or communicate with us was extremely limited. Her own frustration was manifested in aggression and she went into her own world quite frequently. Due to the skill, compassion and diligence that Linda has brought to my daughter, she has become a completely different little girl. She is no longer frustrated to the point of aggression, she is frequently able to have long conversations with us about what she had done, her likes, and her dislikes. She is able to communicate her needs effectively to us and is present to us in the moment. Linda has just been such a gift in life for my daughter! 5 stars are way too little for this superstar speech pathologist.

Update: it's been two years and my daughter has perfect speech and no issues. The initial PT we…read moremet with tried to convince me my child would have speech delays and all sorts of other delays if a lip tie and tongue tie were not treated. She had neither. Went for an initial consult, PT wrote up a report with the wrong name for my daughter and wrong facts - like we were there with our nanny. Complete waste of money and time and PT kept trying to get us to get her lip tie cut when we were there to deal with mild tort (we also went to two pediatricians who said she didn't even have a lip tie). Unprofessional.

For the longest time he would only eat one type of cracker and drink milk. We truly thought we had tried everything , we even did feeding therapy at home and drove all the way to New York for therapy, but nothing seemed to work. At first, our son started with once-a-week feeding therapy with Miss Nicole, who is very kind. She was the one who recommended that we try the intensive feeding program they offer, and we're so grateful that we followed her advice. Since starting the program, everything began to change. Within just a few weeks, they were able to help him start tasting juices, and in less than a month he began eating purées with a variety of flavors. The progress has already exceeded our expectations, and he continues to improve. We are incredibly grateful to Miss Shuba, who is always on top of everything for our son, and to Miss Lori, who is very approachable and supportive. Both of them monitor our son closely and respond to concerns right away, even at night or on weekends. Thank you also to Mr. Jorge, an incredible BT whom our son really likes. He is very kind and spends so much time teaching, guiding, and feeding our son while Miss Shuba closely monitors the process. And to Miss Sammy, a wonderful OT, our son is always excited for his sessions with her. All the staff are very welcoming and supportive. To the entire MST team, thank you so much for everything you do. We truly appreciate all of your hard work. This place truly deserves an award -- it's a 10/10! Highly recommended!
