It saddens me that my daughter endured more trauma to her life by attending Plena.

I had a friend refer me to Amen clinics after her husband has found 5 years of stability. My family…read moreand I have lived a parent's nightmare this last year. I want to protect my child so I can't share much. Just know that after years of suffering they finally seem to be turning a corner. A good one. I see my baby again. I was afraid they were gone forever. Tips: day 1 brain scan is after putting the brain into an agitated state. I don't know why the clinic doesn't do some kind of relaxation exercise after but we had a rough night. I suggest taking 15 minutes to calm yours/your lived one's mind before going about your day. It's a simple exercise and seems like it should be harmless but they are putting your brain into an agitated state for the scan. It works.

Dr. Shane Creado transformed my sleep! I was struggling with…read morepoor sleep for years -- early awakenings, fatigue, and never feeling rested. Working with Dr. Creado at Amen Clinics changed everything. His personalized recommendations, combined with his book and the targeted supplements he suggested, delivered dramatic results. My sleep quality has improved more than I thought possible. I'm falling asleep easier, staying asleep longer, and waking up refreshed with real energy. Dr. Creado is knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly effective. If sleep issues are holding you back, see him. Highly recommend! Thank you, Dr. Creado!!

To be clear of my experience: Therapist was outstanding…read more Reason behind my rating: When I had originally enrolled my son to work with this facility my first and most important request was that he would have the ability to work with the same therapist. In receiving services with cps there was a lot inconsistency with services and the therapist was changing frequently. So naturally I thought that if we paid for private services this problem can be avoided. So I searched for a private practice . I was assured that the request for having my child consistently work with the same therapist would be fulfilled. Those assurances gave me peace of mind and with that we enroll our child. Now I'm being informed that my child will no longer be able to work with the same therapist due to policy change. I asked what the out of pocket expense would be to keep my son with the same therapist and was informed that "regrettably" that wasn't an option. Again I re-iterated to the facility prior to enrollment the importance it was for me to have 1 instructor work with my child. And now (a few short months later) my family and I can no longer be accommodated.

I am a speech-language pathologist for the Chicago Public Schools. The parents of a student that I…read moretreat for a language disorder in school were seeking additional outside services and asked me for a recommendation. I referred them to Sonya at Lakeshore Speech. They have reported being very happy with the therapy sessions thus far. She is very professional, explains what she is doing and gives them advice on how they can work with their son at home to support what she is doing in therapy. I, too, am very happy because she communicates regularly with me, so we are able to coordinate our therapy for the maximum benefit of the student. He is making wonderful progress. Sonya has informed me that she also works with adults, and judging by her professionalism and background, I am confident that she is simply a talented therapist all around. I can and will continue to recommend her to anyone who is looking for a speech-language pathologist.
