    Amazing! Took my 3 month-old daughter for physical therapy and Erica was fantastic. Clean clinic,…read morepatient and knowledgeable therapist, and friendly receptionists. They were quick to call and schedule an appointment and were so helpful to me as a first-time mom. 10/10 would recommend.

    We recently went in for an evaluation for my son who is 4. We had been with an amazing speech…read moretherapist for a year prior, but she had retired from private lessons. We met with Shaina Proctor, Supervising Speech Pathologist. This is the Supervisor in charge at the E Colonial facility. I immediately knew something was off with this location as she asked my daughter (not my son who needs speech therapy) a variety of personal questions like where my kids sleep, etc. We then entered a very small room (smaller than my closet) and she made a comment about my son being (rude and inappropriate word to say in front of my children). I let that go, but was already in shock. Then she asked several questions about where he lives and who he lives with. Then she asked, 'is he always this (rude and inappropriate word to say in front of my children)?' I have never in 9 years of being a parent encountered a 'professional' that was as rude as Shaina Proctor. My son sees doctors regularly and is registered in programs due to his disability. I have also worked with children with disabilities for 10 years. To any parent of a child with a disability or even minor disorder, I can verify 100% that talking like this to and in front of a child is not only unprofessional but extremely unhealthy and damaging. Please know not all professionals are AT ALL like Shaina Proctor. It was horrifying, quite frankly. I have never heard a complete stranger talk in this manner about my child, let alone someone we were going to for professional services. When I asked if it was a problem for her, her response was that she 'can't diagnose him with anything'. In total confusion, I told her I wasn't asking for a diagnosis, I was asking if she has a problem with my son. She had no answer. She did the '...uh..I...uh..." and I told her point blank I will be letting First Choice Pediatrics know that no child should ever be referred here. In the middle of my sentence, she picked up her phone and began texting. Shaina Proctor was unprofessional to a degree that absolutely blew my mind. If any of this sounds ok to you, then by all means take your kids here. As a para-professional and Mother of two children, I would move to another state before having no other option than to use this facility. For the record, our amazing therapist that retired loved my son and was a bright light in his life. She was in the OCPS school system and a speech therapist, no special placement with special needs, etc. Just a good person who also used many fun activities to encourage and give my son the most amazing personalized experience in speech therapy possible. He made tremendous progress with her in just 7 months. The small closet with zero stimulating activities he was brought into in this facility is laughable in comparison. That's a side note to accompany the disgusting overall experience we had.

    Thankful we got a referral to Beckman & Associates for our baby. Our baby was having some motor…read moreskill struggles with feedings. Debra Beckman was extremely kind, patient, and knowledgeable. I felt that our baby was being handled with care. We were given clear directions and were even allowed to record the session! The office was very clean & they even offered complimentary coffee/tea/flavored water, etc. The price was very reasonable, and I felt we got our money's worth out of the appointment. It felt like a genuine experience and I'm thankful for direction on how we can help our baby at home with exercises.

I was very concerned that he would not Want me after receiving a bottle. Dr. Beckman was cheerful, humble, knowledgeable and very positive that 1) baby was born knowing how to latch on to me...we just needed to remind him. And 2) baby should have no problem switching back-and-forth between nipple and bottle it was just a matter of strengthening the muscles that were weak. That was such a relief for a first time mommy. She went though a series of simple tests and gave us exercises to practice. Three days later he had his first decent latch. And ever since then it's been getting better and more consistent with longer stretches of time. We are not even two weeks since our visit with Dr. Beckman and today we've done more breast-feeding than pumping! Dr. Beckman and associates are professional, friendly, and prompt. Her process is backed by science and research, and carried out with kindness and compassion. I would highly recommend this office. Baby and I are forever grateful.
