Shannon has been working with my 2 year old son for about a year now and is absolutely amazing! My…read moreson had a lot of issues with ear infections and his hearing suffered because of it which put him behind on his speech. He LOVES Ms. Shannon so much, running to her with the biggest smile and hug every time he sees her. He went from not being able to say mama/dada to saying sentences and working through his frustrations by communicating instead of being physical thanks to her. She is great at communicating his progress and things we should be working on at home. I wish I would have found her sooner for my older son.

We highly recommend Shannon to anyone who is in need of a speech therapist. Our son is 19 years old…read moreand has Fragile X Syndrome and Autism. He has a difficult time transitioning to new tasks and Fragile X causes his speech to sound muffled and difficult to understand. Shannon was professional, efficient, and effective. She used a variety of methods to help him transition into each therapy session and he responded to her and cooperated without any bad behaviors. Also, his communication skills improved. He started to answer questions using complete sentences, used more than one to two word answers, and his speech was clearer. As parents, she was wonderful to work with and helped us find ways to assist him in communicating. Wish we could give her more than just the five stars!

The MD's I've seen are very professional & extraordinarily competent. Nothing but high praise for…read morethose folks I have knee issues from past injuries and was a candidate for total knee replacement (TKR). I went to UBMD Orthopedics Physical Therapy at the Maplemere location to see if I could strengthen the knee to prep for or possibly delay TKR surgery. The UBMD PT department is where I faced issues. At that time, it was difficult to walk stairs or even 50 yards. The young PT I was assigned plugged me into a "one size fits all" rehab program. It did not help that my PhD therapist was impersonal, distracted & inattentive, and his subordinates did most of my therapy that he designed. The exercise program I was given made my pain much worse, decreased my mobility and was generally detrimental even after 6 months of dedicated effort on my part. I was getting discouraged. My knee got so painful from the assigned UBMD PT, I developed fluid in the knee joint and required multiple cortisone shots. Out of necessity, I ditched about 2/3 of the exercises I was given and all of the weighted exercises from UBMD PT and pivoted to body weight squats, knee stretching, yoga, walking & banded leg work. I borrowed from my boxing and martial arts experience from many decades ago emphasizing rotational knee movements, feints, front to back and side to side stepping. My knee slowly responded to my own custom designed PT treatment, and today I can walk stairs without issue, walk a mile, have minimal to no knee pain, no fluid on the knee and have not required any cortisone shots since early in 2025 which was from the UBMD PT exercises. I also don't require TKR at this time. Another UBMD PT issue is their glacial response time to calls for appointments - 2 weeks plus in my experience. The final issue at the new UBMD ortho office on Maplemere is the parking lot design - it's a miserable set up. The long, wide grassy "berms" installed in the parking lot present a dangerous maze to ortho patients who can have issues just navigating flat pavement. UBMD ortho should add flat "walk throughs" in those berms.

I saw Dr Michael Freitas for a condition I've had for over a year. This review is specifically for…read morehim, because I was here last year to see another Doctor for another issue and that whole team was awesome. In a nutshell: my shin & ankle & foot (all on my left leg) feel like they're filling up with gas in the same way that your knuckles do when they feel like they need to be cracked. Except it had been getting worse, going from 'occasional' to 'every day, all day.' I'd take 20-30 steps and my whole left leg would sort of stiffen and it would be painful to walk unless I stopped and 'cracked' my shin, ankle, & foot. So I saw Dr Michael Freitas after being x-rayed. I showed him my walk and let him hear the cracking, and I had even printed out a diagram of the leg & foot and highlighted the areas that I was experiencing issues and pain. He said, very nicely, that "nothing was wrong" with me. Oh. So it's normal to have to stop ever 20-30 steps? Okay, then, cool? Also: how could he see and hear what I was talking about and *still* decide that nothing was wrong with me? And I am not a doctor, but the areas that I highlighted on the diagram are TENDONS, not bones. You CANNOT SEE TENDONS ON AN X-RAY, Dr. Freitas. You should listen to your patients, especially if they come in prepared. I *knew* the tendons would not have been visible on the x-ray, but instead of listening to me he decided the x-ray was 'proof' that I was a-okay. It has been a nearly a year since that appointment and my left leg is STILL doing this, every single day and night, all day and night. But, no worries! Dr. Freitas says this is normal!
