I wanted to share my feedback about my experience with Coast SF. I was on the wait list for a long…read moretime seeking services for my daughter who is 2 years, 8 months old. They took the information and knew how old she was before the intake call. During the call the owner told me that the therapists are not trauma informed and that my daughter would need to attend sessions by herself so that they could be hippa compliant. I find it hard to believe that parents would drop off their 2.5 years old to an appointment. She said that since I practice attachment parenting that it would not be a good fit. I asked her what she thought attachment parenting was to her. I left the appointment feeling that I needed to convince her that we were a good fit for her program. This was something I didn't feel was compatible with the care we are seeking. We were originally seeking support for sensory processing and after speaking with my daughter's therapist that she actually doesn't have sensory processing issues. This could have easily been determined on the call. I would like to share this information in case parents are on the long wait list with their child under 3 that they admitted that they are not well equipped to "accommodate " children of that age. A follow up email wasn't sent which would have been a thoughtful curtesy after such an off putting first impression. I can appreciate that her clinic might not be set up for parents to attend with their children but felt that the way this was communicated with me was insulting and disrespectful. I feel this could have easily been avoided in the initial communication with admin staff.

First off let me just tell everyone how difficult it is looking for OT services. I have called almost everywhere in San Francisco that I found on google and even in the Peninsula region. Everyone's prices were either expensive or reasonably priced and although they came highly recommended the wait list to be seen was way too long. Finally Julia called me to see if I was still interested in working with her. She is so easy to connect with and she is so knowledgeable. She had given me a plan about what steps we were going to take that would be in the best interest for my child. Her intake is also VERY thorough and covers more bases than any other intake I've done and I've been through the intake process with connected kidz (who by the way are amazing as well), GGRC, Gatepath, and World of Words. She communicates thoroughly and is sure that she touches base with you on all points. I can honestly say I am looking forward to meeting with. Also, a friend of mine who has been an OT for 20+ years highly recommended her as well. So that must say something.

I called the St Mary's OT department four times to schedule an evaluation but always got through to voice mail and my calls were never returned. I was about to scheduled with another provider because I wasn't sure if Candy even worked at St Mary's any longer and it was just too difficult to schedule an evaluation appointment. Persevering, I use the physician's office option when I called the OT office number and finally managed to speak with a human. I was amazed that Candy still works there and was available to evaluate and treat me. Candy is a superb and highly experience therapist. She spent a lot of time listening to the explanation of my neck problem and examining me. We set up 6 appointments where she manipulated my neck and showed me exercises I could do to stop my chiropractor visits and prevent the neck pain. The result is that I no longer have any neck pain and no more visits to the chiropractor. I would give 5 stars for the therapy I received but reduced to 4 overall because of the difficulty in reaching a human being to schedule my evaluation appointment.
