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.

I specifically requested Pamela, a certified hand therapist (CHT), who attentively listened to my concerns, thoroughly analyzed my condition, and implemented corrective measures that resulted in my pinky's permanent full range of motion.

We have been coming to LAIPT for our son for 5 months (OT with Rachel and PT with Shannon), and…read morecould not recommend it enough. Our son started at LAIPT with some sensory concerns and gross motor and motor planning delays, but has transformed since starting therapy. He has much better regulation, attention span, and body strength, and his motor planning has improved tremendously - I no longer worry he's going to run into walls or fall off things. All of this improvement we owe to our wonderful team at LAIPT. Maxine is also wonderful and works with us to make sure everything fits into our kiddos busy therapy schedule. The space is wonderful as well - very clean, and each therapy room is spacious and filled with so much great equipment and toys. The PT space is a literal gym and our son loves going there because it's basically a playground for him.

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 seen many therapists over the years, but Paul at Hands On OT stands out as exceptional. He is…read moreknowledgeable, caring, friendly, and completely trustworthy. What truly sets him apart is his whole-body approach--he doesn't just treat the immediate injury, but understands how everything is connected. I originally came in with sprained fingers, which was a major issue for me as a writer. Paul not only helped them heal, but also identified underlying issues in my hips and elsewhere that were affecting my movement. Using a wide range of tools and techniques, he consistently knows exactly what will help. Each session leaves me with less pain, a clearer understanding of the root causes, and practical exercises that support continued healing between visits. If you're looking for an occupational therapist who combines deep expertise with genuine compassion, I can't recommend Paul highly enough. I'm very grateful I found him.

Paul at Hands on OT is truly one of the kindest and most genuine healthcare professionals I've…read moreworked with. From the beginning, he took the time to really listen and understand what I was going through. You can tell he genuinely cares about his patients and is deeply committed to helping them get better. He has a great balance of honesty and motivation. He's straightforward about the work that needs to be done, but he encourages you in a way that makes you feel supported every step of the way. His calm energy also makes you feel heard and immediately puts you at ease. The entire environment here is also incredibly warm and welcoming. The therapists clearly know each other well and have real relationships with one another, which creates such a positive and supportive atmosphere. You can feel that sense of community the moment you walk in. If you're looking for a hand therapist who is knowledgeable, patient and truly invested in your recovery, Paul is someone you'll be very grateful to work with.

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.
