He is a completely different child (in a good way!) since becoming a part of the CSC family. I say family, because that's how their practitioners treat each member of our family, especially our little guy. I've witnessed firsthand the warmth and compassion they show for all families navigating what can be an extremely overwhelming and, at times, emotional journey. Melissa, the owner, has helped us find the best school environments for our son, even calling on our behalf to check avails in the programs. When it comes to your child and the resources they may need, we've found a comprehensive program and treatment plan for our son at CSC. They even helped us navigate the world of getting an out of network deficiency, which has allowed us to get reimbursement at in network levels. I can't thank everyone enough for all their help and support. It takes a village to raise a child, and we are grateful for our village at CSC!

We stumbled upon the Childhood Success Center through a google search for a social skills group and…read moreMelissa took us through the journey of OT and more. It's been about a year and we have seen our daughter grow leaps and bounds and are so grateful for the CSC. Even during times of staff turnover, Melissa helped us find a therapist that fit our daughter not only skills-wise, but in temperament. Unfortunately, despite their services, this review is of their billing department which is oddly on time with charging your card but less so in providing a receipt of payment. They have also, on occasion, charged my card incorrectly. For those filing their super bill with insurance and require a receipt of payment, my recommendation is to consistently follow up with their billing department and to make sure your billing statements reflect their charge. I was once billed ~$600 incorrectly at a point in which I caught it in time; they promptly reversed before the charge was posted. The latest mischarge took about a month to refund due to an error on CSC's side as well as vendor processing error. I will say that they are very amenable to correct, but you will have to escalate if it is taking longer than usual. Unfortunate that this is something to manage as well, but please be aware.

They only have one mastectomy specialist, wait... She quit after she took an intake and wasted two hours of my life. They make you wait two months for appointments like George Clooney is going to be the one working you out. They like they're curing your cancer and not teaching you how to stretch your shoulder.

Since my wife's injury was so traumatic she was extremely fortunate to be placed under Pamela's extraordinary care. During the course of treatment Pamela was talented, attentive, and caring.

We've been coming to this clinic for over 3 years, and for the past year we've had the privilege of…read moreworking with Miss Katie and Miss Tawny. They've made such a positive impact on both of my sons and our whole family. Miss Katie (our OT and the clinic manager) is not only caring and patient but also extremely knowledgeable and professional. One of my sons has high sensitivity to smells and used to vomit a lot. After working with Miss Katie for just half a year, his vomiting has improved significantly--the frequency is much lower because he's learned strategies to avoid situations that trigger him. Katie always goes above and beyond to support each of my boys' unique needs, whether it's fine motor skills or sensory exploration. She communicates clearly, provides us with helpful home strategies, and even brings snacks sometimes to make the boys feel comfortable. My kids have grown so much under her care, and they absolutely adore her. Miss Tawny (clinic supervisor) is also the best. She keeps everything running smoothly--always on top of paperwork, scheduling, and last-minute changes. She goes out of her way to accommodate us, which is such a relief since I'm juggling OT and speech for two kids. She makes the logistics stress-free so I can focus on the boys' progress. Together, Miss Katie and Miss Tawny make the clinic feel like family. My boys are always excited to go, which makes therapy not only effective but also fun. We feel incredibly lucky to have them for our OT journey!

Her name was Adhi and she didn't know how to answer any of my questions. I spent a lot of time on the phone with her and she intentionally hung up on me since she was unsure as to how to respond to any of my concerns and I had asked to speak to her supervisor. I called back and she lied about having spoken to me (just a minute prior) and picked up the phone the same way she initially did saying "I'm calling from LAIPT how can I help you?" When I was the one calling her! I also contacted her on the day that I had parted with my child and needed some peace of mind knowing that she's doing ok and spent at least 5 minutes trying to explain the reason for my call only to find out that she worked in the "back office" and that there was no patient there by my child's first and last name!!! As a parent, I needed someone who was actually AT the facility and couldn't wait another GD knows how long for a coordinator to finish a session and call or text me back. It was an urgent matter and wasn't handled properly or professionally. I was more stressed, anxious and frustrated upon speaking with Adhi. She had ZERO clue of my child's whereabouts and emotional state and was of NO help. She barely spoke proper English and I had to spell out things in order for her to comprehend what I was saying! Thank GD for Katie and all of her help. Katie took the situation and handled it in a timely manner. She was very apologetic for Adhi's behavior and took matters into her own hands by giving me the peace of mind that was needed as a parent leaving my child there alone for the first time. Adhi seemed lost and should not be working anywhere that handles matters with children involved! I hope the company finds someone IN OFFICE who is knowledgeable and knows the patients and parents who will better manage the front desk.

Paul at Hands on OT is truly one of the kindest and most genuine healthcare professionals I've…read moreworked with. From the beginning, he took the time to really listen and understand what I was going through. You can tell he genuinely cares about his patients and is deeply committed to helping them get better. He has a great balance of honesty and motivation. He's straightforward about the work that needs to be done, but he encourages you in a way that makes you feel supported every step of the way. His calm energy also makes you feel heard and immediately puts you at ease. The entire environment here is also incredibly warm and welcoming. The therapists clearly know each other well and have real relationships with one another, which creates such a positive and supportive atmosphere. You can feel that sense of community the moment you walk in. If you're looking for a hand therapist who is knowledgeable, patient and truly invested in your recovery, Paul is someone you'll be very grateful to work with.

Highly recommend this practice!…read more Following surgery for a fractured scaphoid bone in my wrist, my surgeon referred me to Hands On OT. I was assigned to work with Lori, who was excellent -- experienced, knowledgeable and informative. She helped me improve my strength, flexibility, and movement in my hand/wrist/fingers, using heat, exercises, and cold. I went 2x/week for several months before eventually tapering down to 1x/week. I kept requesting my doctor's office renew my OT order because I found the guidance there so helpful, and the atmosphere so friendly. (All the staff seemed equally caring and skillful.) Note: This small homey office is located in a converted ground floor apartment of a vintage 2-story apartment building (about a block from the Santa Monica beach, south of Pico Blvd.) I was always able to find a metered parking space within about a 5-min walk for my apointments (Mon-Thur afternoons.)

Their website looked impressive, and they claimed to specialize in neuro rehab and retraining the nervous system with PTs and OTs. Unfortunately, my experience was extremely disappointing. It felt like the staff did not actually understand POTS or how the postural component affects patients. The "treatment" I received was very basic -- simple exercises anyone could find online, instructions to ice my neck, and even being told to imagine a memory from when I wasn't in pain while icing. That is not sustainable or effective treatment for a complex condition. The people themselves were kind, and they did offer me some financial consideration, but the overall pricing was still very high. I ended up spending thousands of dollars -- essentially my entire savings -- and walked away with no real progress or useful strategies. I feel I gained nothing beyond what I already knew. I am extremely disappointed and would not recommend this clinic to anyone seeking serious help for POTS. For me, it was a costly detour that left me starting over in my search for real, effective treatment.
