I was contemplating on writing this review, because of the fact that my son is not enrolled in…read moreservices at this facility. However, my interaction with their administrative staff this morning left me wondering how many other parents/families experience the same interaction I had. I hate to leave businesses these type of reviews, but here my experience goes! I placed my son on the wait list several months ago after reading all of the wonderful Yelp reviews and this being so close to home. As we all know, there is such a high demand for speech services, so I was extremely glad that I was able to even place him on their wait list. Well, today I received a call from their facility. I was given the option of enrolling my son into two sessions (Thursday in the afternoon and Friday at 8am). I do understand that I selected the open availability selection, but seriously, 8am? That's the time I start work. Anyway, I didn't mention that to the admin lady. I asked her if I can give her a call back in five minutes. She proceeds to tell me, "I mean, I'm going down the list of parents who stated they have an open availability spot, so you can call me back, but this is a first come first serve type of spot." Or whatever she said at the end. Then she stated, "Open availability means you can come at anytime." Now, this irritated me because why would you try to be condescending? I also needed to consult the time with my husband given we work two different schedules and needing to confirm Friday at 8am would work for him. I would've also had to notify my supervisor who is extremely supportive. But, after she stated that I gave an attitude back and told her to remove my son from the waitlist then I hung up. I'm very disappointed given I felt this could've worked if she would've allowed me to confirm scheduling with 1. My husband and 2. My employer, however there wasn't much grace there which resulted in how the conversation ended. I hope your experience is better than mine! Good luck to all the parents trying to enroll their children in services.

This one star review is about how they are able to get insurance to cover your child's speech…read moretherapy once they have aged out of the program. They gave my son a insurance code that meant he was getting low oxygen to his brain and is basically having trouble speaking because of this. Well that is 100% NOT TRUE, and claiming that he has this is Insurance Fraud!!! So unless you want your child to have this crazy diagnosis following him or her around don't go to them. Almost 90% of the time speech is an out of pocket expense and if they say it's covered it isn't. You will get this large bill because someone on the insurance side finally looked a little closer at the billing.

We have insurance, and good insurance at that. Our insurance called their office and told them our portion was maximum of under $300. They refused that and said we were to deal with insurance after the fact. Fast forward several months, their office decided to treat us as a cash patient and told us to deal with insurance ourselves. My insurance finally sent me my reimbursement and it was a small fraction of what was paid to their office. None of this information was disclosed to us prior to the procedure. Highly disappointed because the level of care is good but their billing practices are shameful.

As soon as he started services with her, we noticed the rapid change in his speech. She gave us so many helpful tips with how to help him annunciate phonic sounds, words, and just overall how to meet him at his speech level. They worked very well together and he always looked forward to his sessions with her. It's so nice to be able to have our children learn through play. That's exactly what Karina did - meet him where he was at and initiated play. We did try the in-office speech prior to meeting Karina and that did not go so well. Luckily, we were able to get services with her. She cares so much about every child she works with. She is also a great advocate and gave us and his teachers tools to utilize while in the classroom. Our son has come a VERY long way from when he first started with her. He is now able to engage in conversations, finish his sections (3-4 sentences) and has slowed down A LOT. Thank you, Karina for ALL of the work you've helped us with. We are so grateful for you!

Small Talk Therapy felt far more focused on payments than on the actual progress and well-being of the children they're working with. As a parent, that's honestly heartbreaking to say. I went in hoping for support, guidance, and genuine care for my child's growth, but instead I left feeling like just another transaction. Therapy for kids should feel collaborative, compassionate, and centered around development -- not money. If you're looking for a place that truly prioritizes your child's progress and communicates with empathy, I would encourage you to do your research before choosing this clinic. This was just my experience, but it's one I wish I had known about beforehand.
