What is an intensive outpatient program?

An intensive outpatient program (IOP) is similar to a partial hospitalization program (PHP) but sessions are conducted in the evening to accommodate school and work commitments. Our IOP is a minimum of 12 hours per week – 3 hours a day, 4-6 days per…

My nephew was recently diagnosed with being on the autism spectrum. We were clueless as to what to…read moredo. He needed therapy services; however, we didn't know where to begin, where to go, who was good, would we be able to afford it, etc. On the day of his diagnosis, his psychologist told me about Therapyland. Therapyland has only been open for just over a year. However, it's already one of the best facilities in GA from which anyone could ever hope to receive help. Therapyland is a 12,000 sq ft facility that offers pediatric developmental services such as speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and applied behavioral analysis therapy. The owner, Thane, meets with every interested parent. He is very patient and because his daughter is also autistic, understands exactly what parents of diagnosed children are experiencing. He then takes you on a tour of the facility, which is nothing short of amazing! You MUST check out the sensory room! You'll wish you could have one in your home, guaranteed! Also, check out the parent lounge. It was created just for parents to have a quiet place to relax or get some work done! All of his staff members and therapists are extremely knowledgeable and personable. Irma, the administrative assistant, is very personable and a joy to communicate with. Angie, the billing manager, is patient, understanding, and a joy to work with (unlike many other medical billing offices I've encountered). Cheri, the COO and scheduler, works hard to accommodate scheduling needs of parents. My nephew's BCBA, Catherine J. is amazing and makes it her personal goal to see that the children under her care succeed. The hosts of therapists that my nephew and I have encountered (many of which share the same name haha) the Kellys, Courtneys, Markus, Summer, Clare, and even the ones I've only seen on occasion as they speak with other parents in the lobby, are all amazing as professionals and as individuals. In case you can't tell, I can't say ENOUGH amazing things about this facility. Therapyland offers a 1:1 ratio. Each child is assigned his/her very own therapist for the time that he/she is receiving services at Therapyland. My nephew (who is usually apprehensive around strangers and have major separation anxiety) quickly became acclimated to not only his own personal therapists but the other therapists that work closely around him. His therapists not only update me with what my nephew learned that day and any improvements shown, they also follow up with emailed (and very detailed) reports. There's also a system that parents can access for ABA therapy where the skills being taught are tracked via charts and graphs! I can't say enough wonderful things about Therapyland and it's staff. I love the carnival theme of the office. I go to Therapyland every day for my nephew and I get to see the same parents and children each day. Everyone has nothing but great things to say and the children love it! If your child has recently been diagnosed with autism or is otherwise in need of speech, occupational, physical, or ABA therapy, I implore you to check out Therapyland. Just call, speak to Thane, make an appointment to take the tour... you have nothing to lose and you WILL NOT regret it! Enrolling my nephew there was the best decision I could have made for my nephew. He deserves the best and Therapyland is it! As a final note, I recently met with a doctor at the Marcus Autism Center, even she was impressed with what Therapyland had to offer. Get in on this amazing facility while it's still up and coming. Later, when the word really gets out (and it will), you'll be thankful you got in early!

I was so upset this happened and they ou let me knoe at the end of the day. the bcba accidentally added me to an email that she asked the boss (owner wife) what she should say to me before I saw my child's injury. you would have thought they would have reached out to apologize or address my concern. they didn't even respond or care. .my bill was always in the thousands, double billed etc. I was even advised by the owner to get the insurance he likes with a insurancr broker he knows after paying him a fee of 85.00. the professional thing would have been to just tell me the name of the anthem plan so I can buy it for free under the marketplace but no you pay him a referral fee to help you get a plan he likes that they can charge unlimited aba of which your child may not need. they always request more hours than needed as the charge nearly 1600 a DAY. there is no education they are doing that is special. he will even dissuade you from putting your cild in school so he can make over 150k a year from your insurance. he is a sales man and couldn't care less about the progress of your child. get your child in home aba. they generalize it better as being in a center is slower progress if ANY. then put them in prek. my child is not only talking at nearly age level but also potty trained in less than 3months of leaving that place. watch your tab!!! they will bill EVERYTHING. they wanted me to pay 15 for a bookbag the said broke a clear cheap bookbag..when I asked how does a bookbag break and and refused they were upset. For 1:1 care my child being injured was terrible. her eye was red. I can post a picture. also SPEECH was a joke.. they were playing YouTube through ever session i attended and had the nervr to bill 245 for a session for 30 minutes. typical places charge 90. OT was 350 a session! this place bilks money. m

I have been going here for years and Dr. Madjhuri has always been so pleasant and fun. Her office…read moreis colorful, inviting, and above all a great place for pediatric care. She has helped me be very informed of my children's growth, any areas of improvement, and there to help me make a plan for any items we are having issues with. More recently since the pandemic, I haven't found that her care approach has changed but her fees and policies have changed for sure. Some reviews mention finding another office and I don't feel like there is a need to change that but just be mindful about a few things; Depending on who's confirming billing - you may or may not be aware of any balances beforehand. Some call some don't. I will say the three stars are for the front desk check in receptionist. I'm not sure what her issue is but she is constantly being "combative" about payments, and scheduling. Like every single time I find myself confirming or having "homework" with the insurance company. Like if I say something she always has to go and confirm as if I'm lying about my treatment or appointments because she doesn't see it in the system. And she literally called me one time because my son hadn't been seen since last April and asked was he still a patient. Her tone and comments are unnecessary and don't prove to be the loving environment Dr. Madjhuri represents. She also never apologizes. Just then becomes stand-off ish. Outside of those two technical issues I would say she's still an amazing doctor and she should get her praise for that.

Doctor doesn't care about kiddos! Front office staff is the worst. She doesn't try to intervene. Go…read moreelsewhere.

I have not been having a good experience with thrive works, even after giving them chance after…read morechance. I've never had to deal with unprofessionalism from a therapist or nurse practitioner prior to thrive works. Armeshia Lawrence is very unprofessional, I had a really bad experience and don't wish that on anyone. Since we started working together I noticed something was off but I gave it multiple chances. She doesn't acknowledge you, she doesn't make you feel like she's really there for you. She's there for a pay check and that is very unfortunate. Also, apparently she only checks her email once a week, since she has other things in place taking her time. The last appointment we had she hung up the zoom meeting in my face after I told her I think we aren't a good fit to work together. Choosing someone to help you with your mental health, especially medication is extremely important and can be hard to find, But atleast have the decency to have good customer service and represent thrive works in a good and professional manner. There are more disappointments I have but I'll leave it at this. Get your moneys worth and go else where, with people who are really there to help you AND are more experienced and knowledgeable on what they are doing. This is your life and your mental health on the line.

I paid 149$ for account setup and scheduled an appointment for couples therapy. Then after reading…read morethe the hundreds of terrible reviews I decided to cancel appointment. The customer service (Laura A) was very responsive the entire time and was polite when I voiced my apprehension and need for cancellation. She assured me I would receive a refund since I gave more than 24 hour notice but I would need to go through the billing department which i did by emailing and after leaving a voicemail with contact information below. 8776145227 ext 22 woodstock.billing@thriveworks.com Im not sure how a business can operate with such terrible reviews but I promised I would leave a better review if they at least refunded my deposit so people would get a better feel for the business ethics.

So happy we found him and can't recommend him enough! Zach Kissell has also been wonderful for individual counseling, and the ladies who help up front have always been kind and efficient! I haven't personally used the other therapists, but would imagine they are all wonderful and all seem to have specialties that could be very helpful for people looking for help in specific areas. Highly recommend!

The counselor was uncaring and only took my basic information instead of helping me through the crisis and at the very least giving me some resources of places that would be willing to help me. I spent $100, as I considered it to be an ER type visit. The counselor quickly ended our session, pushing me into the lobby when I was still sobbing uncontrollably. It was humiliating to be pushed into the small lobby with that level of emotion in front of 2 men and a child, with a woman who came in as well. Even the receptionist did not offer my to use their bathroom to wash up or Kleenex. All they wanted was to be paid and me out of there. This is absolutely the last place I would send anyone to. If you want help, resources, connection don't waste your time and/or money. This place does not even worthy of 1 star. 2/8/2020 You were correct about one thing, I did not get charged $100...I got charged for $200 and it shows on the bottom that I used a debit or credit card. Nice way to outright lie about your counseling group. You all ought to be ashamed of yourselves. People in need of proper counseling beware.
