Here's the deal, I have been to a few hand therapists due to an injury prior to surgery. After…read morehaving surgery on a trigger release I was pointed in the direction of Wave Hand Therapy. Like anyone I was nervous to start over with someone new because I hadn't seen any progress with the others. Little did I know, Sharon specializes in hand therapy and this experience would be so much better. Not only does Sharon focus on the injury, the scar tissue, and range of motion but she focusses on the why and how. I had no clue one tiny movement in my thumb connected to so many muscles up my arm. Not only did Sharon take the time to explain this but she focussed on these first, rather than forcing me into exercises on the first and second meeting. I was so relieved because I didn't want to walk away in pain after already dealing with the pain of surgery/recovery. I also think it's important to note that Sharon takes the time to listen to you and actually hear you and she doesn't belittle you. I cannot tell you how often I have felt that with this particular injury -since it's "just a thumb." If you are reading this in search of a therapist and you have a choice, choose Sharon. If you are coming here because insurance chose for you, be grateful that they made such a great choice! I still have sessions with Sharon to finish out the therapy I am in now, but this is how confident I am about my experience thus far! That's why I am sharing it with you today. Incase you weren't aware Yelp hides reviews in a "not recommended" section for each business. These reviews moved are selected by a machine... If you look at the section for this business those reviews are ALL 5 star and there is NO reason they should be down there! So I am here doing my review again in my attempt to fix the issue. I don't care if it's too positive. My truth is my truth and I won't allow Yelp to mute me!!

I first met Sharon at WAVE Hand Therapy in May 2023 after my second hand surgery. After navigating…read morethrough the Tricare system I was happy to find a professional willing to work with me. Her professionalism, expertise, and wonderful personality made for the best possible experience during my recovery. I was new to the area and wasn't sure what to expect with a new therapist. However, it turned out to be a fantastic match, as Sharon is top-notch at what she does and just as enjoyable of a person to spend the hour with. I highly recommend her and the other professionals at WAVE. Fast forward to 2025, after my shoulder surgery I knew where to go and who to see. Once again Sharon made all the efforts to work with me, my schedule and Tricare, so I can get the best care and recovery I need in order to get healthy. My shoulder is all healed, my range or motion and strength are back. Sharon did it again. Thank you Wave for all you do!

I honestly can not give Milestone Pediatric Therapy & their fantastic team enough praise! My son…read moresaw Miss Emily & Mary for speech therapy for around 3+ months. We find them through an approved list from our insurance carrier, Kaiser. The office is clean, & check in process was some of the smoothest I have ever experienced. No shoes are allowed once you cross out of the waiting room. The front desk ladies are friendly & really got to know my son in such a short amount of time. They always knew he wanted to show them whatever toy he brought for the day & there was always a sticker he enjoyed getting they'd let him pick out. Payments were automatic and I never had any issues there. Within one session with both ladies, we were able to get him using words we knew he had in there-they just helped him bring them to life. My son & I were both bummed when we ended services due to him starting preschool & getting the services while there. Emily really grew on him. He would absolutely light up seeing both ladies. My son, his attitude, behavior, and speech all elevated by coming to Milestone. The absolute patience the staff has is incredible. My son had a couple sessions of occupational therapy and we absolutely loved our therapist as well. I felt included in each of his sessions with all the ladies & there was something we worked on each week to improve the next. My son went from saying a handful of words to now speaking sentences. We game together and he fully understands that we need to take turns. Started off as a super worried mama, and left confident that we would be more than okay. Thank you, thank you, thank you again to Milestone. LOTS of parking & super easy to find. Delicious cafe not far from the entrance!

This review is for the scheduling and billing department and not the physical therapists…read more Poorly trained personnel on insurance claim and following up on patients when there is a doctor referral. I waited about 3 weeks for the clinic to contact me after our pediatrician put in a referral to see PT for my childs torticolis. When I did not hear back I called the office, the first lady said she could not find any referrals then I spoke to a second person that said the paper work sent over was incorrect. I told her since this is a time sensitive issue to go ahead and put me in as a private pay so at least we can start the evaluation and make future appts if needed. Made an appt for an evaluation, only to be called by another personnel to cancel the appt because they are not able to figure out if they are contracted with my insurance. I told them I would still want to come in for the evaluation since its already been over a month and I would pay as private pay until insurance is sorted out. I ended up seeing Miss Paige and Miss Hannah. Both are great PTs and did help improving omy childs torticolis. I ended up using 6 or 7 appointments, 3 months had passed and each time they wanted to cancel my appt because they couldnt figure out insurance coverage. Long story short I finally had to email all the claims and what my insurance had cover and my copays that I had paid for them to finally realize what was happening. Insurance companies suck I get it. I deal with them on a daily basis at my job. But not having trained personnel to deal with the insurance complexities is not acceptable in the health care industry.

Healing Arts Health Center has completely changed my mind about Acupuncture!…read more I was very hesitant to give it another try after not receiving much relief from my first go around...but let me tell you, having the right practitioner is EVERYTHING! For 13 years, I've had chronic Vestibular Migraines and Vertigo that have been hard to manage. Dr. Abdullah's treatments have not only helped improve the frequency and intensity of my attacks, they've also helped manage other symptoms like, nausea, imbalance, tinnitus and insomnia. Now, I look forward to my visits, knowing that I'm going to feel so much relief afterwards. It's hard to explain the feeling of being relaxed and energized at the same time, but that's how I feel after every visit! Dr. Shaheed Abdullah is amazing! He's very knowledgeable in his field and it's clear that he enjoys taking good care of his patients. He's attentive to the specific areas of my pain, and knows exactly where to treat it, even if it's on a completely different part of my body. It's wonderfully fascinating, and he's so happy to share how it all works together! If you want to kick it up a notch, I would also highly recommend the Running Cups, it's incredible! He also curated a tea that was specific to my needs and it's been a wonderful companion to the acupuncture treatments...I even dropped a few pounds! They are quick to respond to emails, and have been very patient with my questions. In addition to their professionalism, Dr. Abdullah and Chanelle both radiate such good energy and are truly a joy to be around. Needless to say, Healing Arts Health Center has made such a positive difference in my overall well being and I am forever grateful.

Care from Shaeed and the front staff is amazing. Highly recommend for joint pain, sleep issues and…read moreheadaches!

Our son, Gianluca ("Luca"), has been a patient of yours and of Lauren's since we started Speech…read moreTherapy several years ago. Lauren was Luca's therapist even before she joined your practice, and we continued with her there. As Luca is now 4-years-old and I've had the chance to interact with numerous physicians, caretakers, therapists and professionals related to his overall care, I can say with confidence that I am in awe of Lauren. Lauren is a passionate, dedicated and energetic therapist. She showed up to each and every session in our home ready and focused on Luca. She cared very deeply about Luca's progress and went above and beyond to ensure he had every chance to access speech, language and develop to his maximum potential. I appreciated her creative approach to "learn" what Luca liked and disliked, and how she could bring the best out of him. She tailored her activities and approach to Luca's interests and although my nonverbal son is difficult at times to understand from first glance, Lauren successfully navigated their communication styles and was able to have a relationship with Luca. Lauren not only taught Luca, but she also educated my husband and myself, in addition to our nurses and other caretakers to ensure we all had access to learning Luca's best options and what opportunities there are for us all as we continue down this path. She was patient, persistent and opened our eyes to possibilities we would never have known. As a mom, I felt supported fully by Lauren and knew she truly loved my son. That went far beyond any level of care I could ever have asked for - I don't often leave "reviews" but I feel obligated to share how much of a true difference Lauren has made in our lives.

The nurses and…read morestaff were so patient when teaching us and were always willing to share their knowledge and experience. They were truly amazing! This is definitely one of the memories I will never forget. Even though our clinical days were only on weekends, I learned so much from everyone. I'm very thankful to be part of student in The Nurse Academy and to have had this opportunity. Special thanks to the amazing nurses like HANNAH, JOVENCIO, and JOCELYN for being supportive, kind, and inspiring throughout our rotation. Thank you all so much!

My loved one was neglected and her life was dangling from a thread. We had to fight to have her discharged to a hospital. Why not have the professionalism to admit, it was out of their ability to help her. They are severely understaffed, and therefore the patients lives are at risk daily. in the midst of the heatwave the A/C wasn't functioning. The staff is less than responsive or empathetic due to being overworked as a result of being understaffed. Had our loved one remained at this facility, we absolutely would have lost her and we are yet, not out of the woods. As the family's advocate I have never seen such lack of integrity in the health industry. Inhumane doesn't begin to fully describe the situation at this facility. Exhaust every option, but do not leave your loved one in the hands of these greedy individuals.

This company performs sports medicine, surgeries of various types, and physical therapy. We did not have a long wait with our early appointment. As far as how well we liked the doctors that we were assigned to, both times they were okay. No complaints. Front desk workers were all friendly and informed. The doctor we saw was straightforward with his advice and diagnosis, which was all positive. Oh, and they have a relaxing aquarium, although it could've used a cleaning.

I called the office 7 times today No response ? I callec insurance for help and they determined that approval was dropped after the Dr office didn't call them back after multiple attempts ??? How does this office remain in business !
