Natalia was such a pleasure to work with. We started myo therapy for my 2 year-old daughter a few…read moremonths back and although it was challenging, Natalia had so many useful ways to incorporate the exercises into our day. We didn't end up getting the tongue release but continued the exercises to strengthen and improve orofacial function. We always looked forward to our consults with her because of the joy, enthusiasm, and creative ways that she brings to this work. I highly recommend getting the assessment from her and diving into the therapy. She is a huge wealth of knowledge and is eager to share it.

I am an adult and had worn practices in my 20's. My teeth were shifting and I was unhappy. Dr…read more Salzer was able to eliminate my major TMJ problems. She sent me for physical therapy to widen the opening of my mouth which lasted for close to one year, as well as a TMJ specialist that made several devices to aid in that respect and resolve thee TMJ issue. It was worth waiting a year before Dr. Salzer was able to put braces in my mouth and give me the smile and pefect bite I always wanted! I chose braces versus invisalign because my teeth were able to be corrected in less than one year and I love drinking coffee and would not be able to keep the invisalign in my mouth when drinking anything but water. In addition, if it wasn't for her, I would not have known that I had a lump on the upper left side of my mouth. Being an ex-cancer patient, that was extremely upsetting to me. She sent me to a neurologist to make sure that it wasn't cancer. I have had several checkups with that doctor to confirm. The technology in her office is "first class." I do believe without the best technology, she would not have known about it. Dr. Salzer invests in technology for her patients and has the cutting edge before it even hits the market! That should also be a factor when chosing the right orthodontist. Even though she sent me for physical therapy and to the TMJ specialist, it was all worth the wait! Dr. Salzer was able to give me the perfect bite and smile I always wanted!! She is a perfectionist and an amazing person and without hesitation, look no further!!!

Ms. Carol as my son calls her is very knowledgeable, patient & kind. We've been going to her once a…read moreweek for almost a year now and she has provided us with much help and care.

I certainly recommend Carol to anyone. My son looks forward to seeing her every week.

After my son's short evaluation, half of which was spent playing games, Carol Krakower told me his…read morevocabulary skills were low. I did not believe this and checked with his teacher, who is with him thirty hours a week, and she agreed with me- his vocabulary is fine and his speech is the issue. The teacher also asked how this woman could make an assessment about his vocabulary after spending such a short amount of time with him, which is a valid point especially because my son is usually very shy. My instincts told me to find another SLP, but I ignored them because my shy, four year old son seemed to like Mrs. Krakower. That was a bad decision on my part. After the evaluation, I was told by Mrs. Krakower that she would call me after she received the authorization from my insurance to treat my son. I waited a few weeks and never heard back from her. When I called her, she told me I should call the insurance company. I called and they told me that Mrs. Krakower's office had just called and he was approved, so we began treatment. On the first day of treatment I told Mrs. Krakower that we would be on vacation a few weeks from the date. I also told her receptionist, but it was obvious that neither woman wrote this down because they repeatedly spoke to me about appointments for that week. I brushed it off because Mrs. Krakower was also traveling during part of the week and I figured they were trying to be thorough. Fast forward to the Tuesday after we returned from vacation. My son was sick so I canceled his appointment that day. Around 5pm I received a call from the office. When I spoke to the receptionist she told me "your insurance isn't paying us enough" (yes, she actually said that). When I asked her why Cornerstone is in my network she said "we don't know how much we are reimbursed until we treat a patient". I am not in the medical field, but from what I've heard usually the provider is given a reimbursement rate when they sign the contract with the insurance company. Needless to say, I discontinued my son's treatment here. Yet, Carol Krakower is still listed as a participating provider on my insurance company's website which makes me wonder if this is a scam they use to get people to pay for treatment out of pocket. I could be wrong and this office may be wonderful and Carol Krakower may be a great SLP. However, my experiences left me with a bad taste in my mouth and I cannot in good conscience recommend this practice or this therapist.

Marina at Therapy Matters is the REAL DEAL! When my son with Down Syndrome was two weeks old, he…read morewas not gaining weight as needed. I began to triple feed, which was effective, but not ultimately sustainable for me. I wanted to give breastfeeding a good solid try but I didn't know what to do next, and I was tired and discouraged. Per our pediatrician's recommendation, I pursued speech offices for help. I contacted nine, seven of which either did not get back to me or said they were unable to help. Thankfully, one office directed me to Marina. When I first spoke with Marina, she assured me that she had worked with babies with Down Syndrome before, that my goals were completely doable, and that together we would find a plan that worked for my son and for our family. Her confidence and professionalism gave me such reassurance and hope! I felt like she cared about my situation as much as I did. Before our first meeting, I filled out a questionnaire with questions so specific that I could tell Marina would be able to get to the bottom of things. When we met in person, Marina approached things calmly, professionally, confidently, and kindly. Together we clarified my goals multiple times to make sure that everything we were doing would work towards that end. Marina didn't give us simple textbook answers; she listened carefully and thoughtfully and spoke to our unique needs and desires. Because of her training in lactation consulting, speech-language pathology, AND feeding therapy, Marina is a one-stop-shop and is able to think about issues from all angles and get to the heart of matters! (This is why we refer to her as the Queen in our home). After I met with Marina, I came home armed with a specific plan and resources to help move me towards my goal of exclusive breastfeeding. Through various supplies, exercises, and changes to my technique and routine, my son gradually got better and better, and I am thrilled that he now exclusively breastfeeds and is growing right on track! Marina was there every step of the way in the weeks following our meeting to answer my questions, cheerlead me, and guide me through the process. Thank you, Marina, for believing in me and my son, and for giving my son a running start into his future through the gift of breastfeeding, giving him not only the standard benefits, but providing him with a solid foundation so important for babies with Down Syndrome. We will always feel indebted to Marina! Thank you thank you thank you!

My daughter, at the age of 16 months, did not have 10 words in her vocabulary. Knowing there was a delay, we immediately enrolled her into Speech Therapy with Kim. Nancy was amazing at working with our insurance company to ensure reimbursement, and to this day, we are still being reimbursed for the therapy. In a short amount of time, my daughter (now 26 months) is speaking full sentences, stringing together 4, 5 and 6 words, knows her entire alphabet, and can count to 17 on her own! Without Kim and the entire staff at Suburban Speech none of this would have been possible. We truly cannot find enough good things to say!
