We have had such a great experience at Child Success for occupational therapy. Our son has been…read morecoming for about a year and we already see tremendous improvement that has given both him and us (his parents) so much confidence. Melissa specifically has been incredible. She is patient, always willing to talk to us, and even communicates with his teachers at school to ensure our son is always getting the care and support he needs. She's also extremely knowledgeable, and is able to explain the roadmap for what she is working on not only now, but in the future, and how it will help our son overcome the challenges he came in with. We are so grateful we found Child Success!

We decided to do the Kinder Prep Camp after having done the Friendship Club, and were very…read moredisappointed with the lack of compassion and accommodation for our anxious 5-year-old compared to all the other regular camps we did this summer. We received a call within an hour of him being at the camp that he was stressed and overstimulated and didn't want to participate, so he was going to need extra support to stay. This was shocking to me considering how little time he had been there, that the point of it was to help kids adjust to kindergarten, and that their ratio was 2 adults to 7 kids. They told me that he consistently improved over the course of the first day and further improved on the second day, but that it would be too costly to keep another adult there to help him. It was sad for us because he left on a high note, telling me that he'd made a friend and that he had done a better job staying in the group. He clearly felt like a success and I wish he'd been given the opportunity to continue improving, but I didn't want him to stay at a camp where the facilitators believed that he was too much for them. He successfully did a year of TK last year and several other camps this summer, some with a ratio of 1 adult to 16 kids. CSC was polite to me and pro-rated me the other days, but it was upsetting because I assumed the most expensive camp I signed up for this summer (held at a therapy location) would be the greatest success, not the one camp that had to call me about an issue. This camp may work out for kids who are already very familiar with their gym environment and don't really need that much help when they feel anxious, but if you're looking for something that will help your child if they struggle in a new environment, this does not seem like the best choice. Some camps that worked well for us this summer were Pedalheads, Compass Clinic's Friendship Island Camp, Campbell Hall's Creative Arts Camp, and Destination Science.

We've been coming to this clinic for over 3 years, and for the past year we've had the privilege of…read moreworking with Miss Katie and Miss Tawny. They've made such a positive impact on both of my sons and our whole family. Miss Katie (our OT and the clinic manager) is not only caring and patient but also extremely knowledgeable and professional. One of my sons has high sensitivity to smells and used to vomit a lot. After working with Miss Katie for just half a year, his vomiting has improved significantly--the frequency is much lower because he's learned strategies to avoid situations that trigger him. Katie always goes above and beyond to support each of my boys' unique needs, whether it's fine motor skills or sensory exploration. She communicates clearly, provides us with helpful home strategies, and even brings snacks sometimes to make the boys feel comfortable. My kids have grown so much under her care, and they absolutely adore her. Miss Tawny (clinic supervisor) is also the best. She keeps everything running smoothly--always on top of paperwork, scheduling, and last-minute changes. She goes out of her way to accommodate us, which is such a relief since I'm juggling OT and speech for two kids. She makes the logistics stress-free so I can focus on the boys' progress. Together, Miss Katie and Miss Tawny make the clinic feel like family. My boys are always excited to go, which makes therapy not only effective but also fun. We feel incredibly lucky to have them for our OT journey!

I've recently been sending my child to LAIPT. Upon registering, I initially called to set up a…read moretour. The person handling the phones was very incompetent. Her name was Adhi and she didn't know how to answer any of my questions. I spent a lot of time on the phone with her and she intentionally hung up on me since she was unsure as to how to respond to any of my concerns and I had asked to speak to her supervisor. I called back and she lied about having spoken to me (just a minute prior) and picked up the phone the same way she initially did saying "I'm calling from LAIPT how can I help you?" When I was the one calling her! I also contacted her on the day that I had parted with my child and needed some peace of mind knowing that she's doing ok and spent at least 5 minutes trying to explain the reason for my call only to find out that she worked in the "back office" and that there was no patient there by my child's first and last name!!! As a parent, I needed someone who was actually AT the facility and couldn't wait another GD knows how long for a coordinator to finish a session and call or text me back. It was an urgent matter and wasn't handled properly or professionally. I was more stressed, anxious and frustrated upon speaking with Adhi. She had ZERO clue of my child's whereabouts and emotional state and was of NO help. She barely spoke proper English and I had to spell out things in order for her to comprehend what I was saying! Thank GD for Katie and all of her help. Katie took the situation and handled it in a timely manner. She was very apologetic for Adhi's behavior and took matters into her own hands by giving me the peace of mind that was needed as a parent leaving my child there alone for the first time. Adhi seemed lost and should not be working anywhere that handles matters with children involved! I hope the company finds someone IN OFFICE who is knowledgeable and knows the patients and parents who will better manage the front desk.

Wonderful center for OT and Speech services!! We started here back in March 2021 with my daughter…read morefor feeding/OT services. We were so grateful to be able to get into a center based program (telehealth just wasn't an option for our little one) with very little wait time. It of course took her a few sessions to warm up to her therapist but once she did it was amazing to see the growth and changes she made. She went from severe difficulty with chewing foods and drinking from cups, to meeting all of her goals within 6 months. Amanda ( her OT) is so great and patient with her. We have expanded each week on what types of foods my daughter eats and have learned so many ways to keep her progress going at home too. We are so grateful for all of the help from Amanda. We also received speech services the past few months here. Melissa is our speech teacher and she is AMAZING too. So sweet and fun to work with, especially for our little one. We are moving services soon (just due to commute) and will really miss seeing her each week! Parking is tricky so arrive a bit early before your session. I highly recommend therapy place for kids for any families who need that extra help and support. The team is great and services are top notch!

I had severe pain in wrist, golfer's elbow, general arm pain plus back pain and the combo of medical grade laser and shock wave treatments has been been so effective that I actually walked out with no pain multiple times and now can manage the pain. The more we did it the longer it would stick and Paul so generously treated me in small windows of time that I had while in the country. I have been dealing with severe chronic pain for decades. This gem of a place is truly healing and Paul's vast experience unbeatable bordering on wizardry. Plus, the big bonus is its one block from the beach with sea breezes coming into this magic beach shack turned occupational therapy spot. Paul and his whole team are great. A shout out to AJ for his post TFCC wrist surgery OT- and Mary for always getting me into appointments. Anyone is fortunate to go to this place but finding a non-medication solution to chronic pain is a needle in a haystack, so don't walk, run!

A person that cares about the patient and actually tries to help instead of waiting for the patient to lose HIS patience and give up! Bravo to Mary.

I have been living with POTS for six years. When I moved to LA, I came across Re+Active Clinic…read moreonline. Their website looked impressive, and they claimed to specialize in neuro rehab and retraining the nervous system with PTs and OTs. Unfortunately, my experience was extremely disappointing. It felt like the staff did not actually understand POTS or how the postural component affects patients. The "treatment" I received was very basic -- simple exercises anyone could find online, instructions to ice my neck, and even being told to imagine a memory from when I wasn't in pain while icing. That is not sustainable or effective treatment for a complex condition. The people themselves were kind, and they did offer me some financial consideration, but the overall pricing was still very high. I ended up spending thousands of dollars -- essentially my entire savings -- and walked away with no real progress or useful strategies. I feel I gained nothing beyond what I already knew. I am extremely disappointed and would not recommend this clinic to anyone seeking serious help for POTS. For me, it was a costly detour that left me starting over in my search for real, effective treatment.
