Due to Covid we halted his in-person sessions, however with first grade starting we opted to get him some help online. We had heard wonderful things about Golden Poppy Speech and the phenomenal work Sarah does. So we decided to give it a try via zoom with Sarah twice a week. It has been amazing to watch Logans speech skills improve week by week with Sarah, just after a few short months he is mastering articulation! She keeps him engaged, he has fun, she is very good a making things relatable. She is truly one of a kind. The set up for zoom, the reminders, the progress notes are above and beyond. Professionalism is something that stands out at Golden Poppy. Thank you Golden Poppy for all you have done for our family and my son. We look forward to our next session with you next week.

She took her time to get to know our son during each of their sessions. He was very shy which made speech even more difficult for him, but within a few sessions he began to trust Sarah and open up. Her approach and exercises helped him tremendously! He is now 2 and speaking in full sentences! I would highly recommend Golden Poppy Speech therapy! Sarah really changed our lives :) can't thank her enough!

I've left…read morevoicemails and talked to my kid's providers, explaining that I don't understand something and need help from the office/administrative staff. And instead of picking up the phone to resolve the matter their office resends the generic text message they've already sent. If I didn't understand the text the first time, why would resending it help? And when I kept pushing they tried to resolve the issue via text instead of calling me, as I had requested. Not everyone wants to communicate sensitive information via text message! When they finally called me the matter was resolved within the same day, after months of ineffective asynchronous messages. Similar problems with their accounting staff. Again, can't get ahold of anyone on the phone. I was told that they don't bill insurance but they could give me the forms to do it myself. After months of trying to get what I needed I gave up. I had a kid in crisis and that's where my focus needed to be. Not in trying to chase members of their staff down. Years later they called me because of a problem with one of my payments to them (so their phone does work!) and while on the phone I mentioned that I never got what I needed. From then on I received an automated bill delivered to my email. But why now? Because I was furious? It feels so gross to have to get mad to get stuff done, blech! I would never ever return here. The office staff is rigid, rude, and disorganized, if they're even present at all. Our provider was great, but I'd rather find a provider with a competent administrative staff.

As a parent, I tried my best to teach him but having a speech therapist help really makes a difference. We are given resources that can be practiced at home which is great. The office is also friendly and welcoming. If you are looking for a speech therapist don't hesitate to come here and ask for Ms. Adriana!

The physical therapist assigned to me was very knowlegeable and listened very well to all my aches and pains. Unfortunately, my rheumatologist only specified my knees, so there was where my PT concentrated on. I have been to therapy 3 times already (of an expected 6 treatment span). So far so good! My range of motion has improved, the pain is still nagging me a little, but I know it'll all get better with time! The place is very nice and clean. Inviting. And the staff are all above par. The treatment areas are all well-lit. And the exercise machines and other equipment are amply spaced...a lot of breathing room here. Even on their busy days, there is still a lot of room available for the patients and the staff. If you have the need for physical therapy and you insurance allows, Burger Physical Therapy is a great place to go!

The office staff is not at all helpful and they will not schedule visits until the night before. Once you have been assigned someone, you can communicate directly with them - but until then dealing with the office staff is just awful. For the knee replacement, they sent a PT to do both PT and nursing duties. This individual was not qualified for wound assessment/care, and removed the staples too soon resulting in the wound opening - and now we are facing another month of wound treatment. We have had three different "case managers" and the communication has been dreadful. Very disappointing - I would not recommend them.
