Our son has a severe speech delay. We went to our pediatrician in the beginning of February for…read moreanother recommendation because he turned three and we needed to switch services.  Dr. **** recommended Blue Sky Speech Therapy with Mayra Tishkoff. Before the first appointment we handed over all of our insurance information over to Mayra and was told she was going to check with our provider if she is in network and if services were going to be covered. During our initial appointment Marya explained to us that my insurance does not cover developmental delay speech therapy.  She said she could not bill our insurance and continued to explain that she spoke with our insurance directly and they instructed her that speech was not covered on our specific plan. Mayra was charging us anywhere from $120-$130 for the 45 min session out of pocket. We we going from the beginning of February to the middle of April once a week (that was all we could afford out of pocket). She would continue to tell us on several occasions that Zed was very behind and that we should up the appointments if we could afford it. After our last appointment on April 10th, my wife, Jessica, came home from the speech appointment very upset because Myra had made a very big point to her that Zed was very behind and that it was crucial that we upped his appointments in order for him to get over his Apraxia. Being that it was unaffordable for us, this was a very upsetting situation.  Jessica immediately got on the phone with Aetna to verify that this was not covered under our plan. I was told by the representative that we are 100% covered and she is in network, no age restrictions or restrictions on number of appointments. I also called aetna and verified that there was no attempt to bill or inquiry Aetna by Blue Sky Speech Therapy. After receiving that information I immediately call Myra to tell her that we are covered and asked for an explanation. She told me that the person who handles told her this information. I gave her the benefit of the doubt and told her kindly if she could rip up the last 2 checks I had given her and start billing my insurance plus the previous visits so I can get refunded minus our deductible. She agreed and said she would do that immediately. This all occurred on April 10th. On April 12th I noticed that there had been two checks cashed on the 11th, the day after I spoke with her and made a big point about charging our insurance that we are indeed are covered. She told me she was ripping those checks up and would bill our insurance. I immediately called Myra at Blue Sky and there was no answer. I had to leave multiple voicemails with her and she finally called me back a few hours later. She explained to me that she "accidentally" cashed the checks. Gave her 2 stars because she was a decent therapist

They also offer a parent education class for parents to apply the needed skills for the other 23 hours in the day when your child isn't at therapy.

IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING THIS PLACE, TAKE THE TIME TO READ THIS!!!!…read more I have waited over a month before writing this review. My mother contracted Covid (she was vaccinated) at this facility and died. I am not terribly upset about that, there are MANY other issues. First of all, I felt the physical therapy part of this facility was the only competent and caring group. I chose this facility over 5 others that I had to choose from for the clean appearance, friendly staff, and the nearby, decent physical therapy center within the complex. They showed me a spacious room, that ended up not being like other rooms. The bathroom of her room was shared, I was unaware and never considered that they did this, especially with Covid. My mother was here after she fractured her hip and while rehabbing had significant leg and muscle pain.....very normal. After a few days I was concerned that she had suffered a stroke....her mind was foggy, speech had become slurred, but I just happened to be on the phone when an attendant came with her meds. I could hear the conversation clearly. Now, my mother was taking half an oxycodon (As Requested), but would take it a half hour prior to physical therapy. This day, along with her typical meds, pink pill was delivered, she asked the attendant twice what it was, "Take it, its for pain." I told her not to take it. "Take it," I heard him say. I told her to throw it on the floor, I KNEW it was not any pain pill that she had asked for. After MANY phone calls, I found out that the Nurse Practitioner (ROMA) had prescribed her Flexiril (As Requested) without my Mother or I being informed. She never had asked or requested it. In my mind, it was the equivalent of being "roofied" and it was under the direction of ROMA. In her state of mind, she did not know they had added this narcotic. This was why she was lethargic, slurred speech, etc. I confronted this "Medical Professional" with questions, in particular, when rehab causes muscle pain, is this the normal course of action over ice and tylenol or the like. They simply DRUGGED HER to make it easier. After my conversation, they used ice, compression and a "pain patch" and she was able to progress again. Be ever vigilant if your loved one ends up here, and, in particular, check on the nursing and Roma. She exuded incompetence and dishonesty. One of the ladies that has been there for quite sometime is allowed to keep her TV on 24\7 at a ridiculous high level that makes it difficult to rest. My mother had to fight to get her bed changed after an accident, some attendants treated her roughly when changing bedding, etc. The facility doctor told me he would see my mother weekly. That was total BS. It was very difficult to get calls returned until I e-mailed several administrators and care givers with a CC to my attorney. Oh, but when Medcair was getting near the end of their paying duration I did receive calls, even though her supplemental insurance would cover the costs and the information had been submitted with them. Can you guess what happened with that? Yup, they had lost it, but it did not matter, she contracted Covid there, and died. When she tested positive for Covid, I received a call from Roma that her blood oxygen levels were declining. I had to TELL HER to send her to a hospital, thus she was sent to UW and put into ICU. I truly believe they would have tried to care for her there and allowed it to worsen and spread further. Choosing that facility and the incompetence and uncaring that she endured will haunt me forever. They are good with the sales, the empty promises, and the appearance that you see when you enter, but it is awful. I did not even mention the food, once a week showering, indiscriminate times of delivering meds, or the way they had not even bagged her belongings to "quarantine" them like the hospital does with the belongings of those with Covid.

Minette was recommended to us by the neuropsychologist who tested and wrote my child's evaluation…read more She worked with one of my children who has a dyslexia/dysgraphia diagnosis and then worked with my other child who was struggling with organizing writing. In total, our family has worked with Minette for just over eighteen (18) months. Minette's has an incredible ability to connect with my children. She built rapport and trust, she's honest and engaging. She is able to skillfully walk students (and parents) through testing data and explain what it means. She focused on my children's strengths and uses them to develop their areas of weakness. She's kind, clear, and firm and was just so competent at getting my children to buy in to working very (very) hard and being able to see their gains and improvements. Our successes with Minette: With my dyslexic child--she saw Minette 2x/week. I typically took my child to tutoring during the school day for her sessions with Minette. She started tutoring in January of 1st grade, struggling to read and unable to produce (phonemic) written work--lots of great writing, but nothing that we could read. At the end of first grade she was able to sound out words and read (at level D/E), and do some phonetic writing. At the end of 2nd grade, my child was reading at level M (upper end of grade level) and expanded her writing ability. Most importantly, she learned self-advocacy skills and strategies for reading/catching errors/self-checking and early strategies for writing. The self-checking skills are critical b/c it helps my child understand that mistakes will happen, they need to be caught and corrected, and then you keep on going. With my child who was struggling with writing--she did a few assessments, reviewed some writing samples, and listened to some school history, then crafted several sessions focused on how to organize ideas, how to construct sentences, paragraphs, etc (and punctuation/grammar). After his second session, I received an excited email from his teacher, "[Student] wrote a full page during writing time. It was well written!" Typically, this child would struggle to eek out two sentences. Minette is a highly-capable and dedicated Speech and Language Pathologist. She is able to develop, execute, and communicate an intervention plan and keep everyone moving forward and goal-focused. I have recommended her to many families and their experience has been similar to mine. Thank you so much for supporting our family, Minette!

My husband is very supportive and did research on speech therapy for me, and found Minette. I am so thankful. I was extremely nervous upon our first meeting but that quickly went away. Minette made me feel instantly comfortable and at ease. I worked with Minette weekly for about six months and made huge strides in understanding my speech. learning about stuttering, how your mouth and tongue muscles all work together to speak was eye opening. The biggest take aways for me were techniques to relax muscles that tense while I read out loud. (I have two young children I read to daily) And also being comfortable and accepting my speech imperfections was huge for me. I highly recommend Minette. She is so down to earth, easy to talk to, and really cares about helping you.

Note: Mosaic closed Adult therapy, all other clinics are open for pediatric care only. So, thanks for letting me know, so I can schedule my total knee replacement rehab. Not much time window since that's on 1/2/19. Ongoing issues? Adults are shown the door with yellow pages. Pediatric care continues at other clinics. Is that age discrimination? Being cast aside mid treatment for neuropathy makes doubt the efficacy and necessity of said "therapy". Thanks Mosaic, it was good, but you've changed. Bad management and greed is a bad recipe for success.

Here's the deal…read more I'm an active guy who gets myself into a lot of trouble. I worked full time hours at an amazing (and busy) cafe in Kirkland and it got my neck into all sorts of weird because I'm tall and the counters in the cafe, well, they weren't. I was hesitant to reach out to any physical therapy because I had previous experience with PT back in Boise that was less than sweet. But my neck pain reached a point where I needed to try. By chance, Mosaic was within walking distance of my apartment. It blew my mind that PT could be what Mosaic was. The staff was overtly friendly and, most importantly, invested in dynamic treatment that involved exactly what and how I was feeling each day. And they were kind enough to laugh at all my bad jokes, which is a huge plus. I receive treatment for my neck for about three months at which time I'm discharged, as it were. I have exercises and recommendations to move forward with instead of just being "done" and "good luck!" So, then my active guy trouble-making hits its stride in late July, 2016, when I dislocate my shoulder. I'm out of town when it occurs, go to the local hospital, and that next morning, I call Mosaic to schedule rehabilitation. They get me an appointment the same week, they test my full range of motion, and they welcome me back like it's a family reunion. Not kidding. The community at Mosaic is absurdly awesome. Any business could learn something from this place when it comes to genuine service. Last week, I went and played disc golf again without a problem. I started a bodyweight exercise program and due to the excellent care, my shoulder feels great. I'm still doing cuff and strength exercises a few times a week, exercises that were given to me as continued therapy after I was discharged. And then there's Tasha. Tasha might be the best PT in the Pacific Northwest. She's damn good at what she does and there was never a moment in either of my PT schedules to Mosaic that I felt uncomfortable or as though I was liable for re-injury. On one of my last PT sessions, knowing that one of my goals was to throw an ultimate disc without trouble, she brought a disc into the office and we practice motion with different throws. THAT is personalized care and that shows class and dedication. Now, if you've made it this far, you might be thinking "okay guy, you seem biased. how much are they paying you." Quite the opposite my friend. I paid THEM to laugh at my bad jokes. But, in fairness, I should list some downsides to Mosaic. I think that's only fair. So, here are the downsides to Mosaic: 1. They are flexible and work with your schedule. (If only they would cancel other people's appointments for me. Sheesh) 2. They always smile. (I mean come on, smiling again? It's Monday) 3. They won't schedule you for more sessions than you need. (Seriously? I love paying way more money than I need to. Jerks) 4. They forced me to bring in coffee. (Well, I mean, it may be more like I volunteered to bring in coffee, but still, what the hell) So I hope that balanced it out for you. If it didn't, and it's still skewed way in favor of working with this amazing family and community at Mosaic, well, good. You may want to go be reckless like me just so you can experience what I'm talking about. Disclaimer: Don't be reckless.
