My child had an evaluation about a month ago and we haven't heard a thing. So ended up trying to…read moreget in contact with this location multiple times no answer no return call. Was able to get a hold of the Santee location. Basically the employee that did our evaluation no longer works for the company, so no one picked up on our case and they told us they are now working on getting our results. Which I highly doubt. They also wanted us to go on a waitlist 2-3 months from now so in the long run we won't actually get our help 3-4 months. If I could give zero stars I would.

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.

During one of my son's scheduled sessions, his actual LICENSED therapist did not show up. No one on…read morestaff seemed to know where she was or whether she was even on the property. Instead, my son was seen for the entire session by an UNLICENSED trainee who is still in school. No one asked me if I was ok with this happening. In addition, we were billed for the appointment as if he had received care from a licensed therapist. The following week, the same therapist again failed to show up for her shift. Rather than offering any solution or attempting to reschedule, I simply received a text message stating that our appointment was canceled because no one was available to replace her. There was no phone call, no apology, and no attempt to accommodate another time. Beyond this, the sessions themselves were only 30 minutes and mostly consisted of basic play activities in the back room. Allowing my child to be seen for an entire session by someone who is not licensed and still in training unsupervised, while billing us for a full therapy appointment, is beyond unprofessional and borderline illegal.

Children of special needs have particular habits and objects they obsess over. HELLO?! The therapist would select things he wasn't interested in...so he would play with the cabinets and window curtains in the office instead. I wanted to make this work....I even gave some advice on toys he would love but the therapist stated " we're not there yet" she finally gave the desired toy last 5 minutes of the 30 minutes session and my son was finally enjoying and engaging with the play. Therapist says "Wow we should have started with that toy to begin with!" In my head I'm like "Duuuuh" If you pick the right toys for certain kids with certain favors then my child would engaged -- and therefore would participate in play = to talk! We had 1 substitute therapist twice and she was amazing... lots of energy and encouraging play and prying out words from my boy with all the RIGHT toys! He had so much fun with Paige! Unfortunately if your schedule doesn't fit, you don't get that therapist. We gave this place 3 months....fr Sept to Dec. With no improvements. A single 30 min play cost about $100ish a session! Your therapist better be working.... our therapist was lazy and barely spoke with my son...mainly with me. Why? *yawn* So boring and so awkward! Everyone was bored and wanted the 30 mins to be over!! LOL We were constantly staring at our watches and staring at each other, Or listening to the sounds outside the door. Come on ..these sessions aren't cheap, and it's just 30 mins...you'd expect they work it right? Mrs. Rachel on YouTube does a better job. And the receptionist Karla has a terrible attitude every time. She has a snotty tone like she's being bothered when you call or come up to the window to talk. I thought the first time maybe she was just having a bad day....but this was every single time! 3 months of crap service. Never coming back again.

I felt compelled to YELP the practice because she spent a good amount of time with me and her customer service/professional skills were top notch. If my referral at SHARP takes too long and I don't see an improvement in my son soon I will ask my ped to write an outside referral so I/we might be seen at this facility.

I have the most lovable nephew in the world. However, he can sometimes be a little terror. Not like…read moreGizmo chugging Liquid Death after midnight terror, but he does have tendencies to act up. What makes it harder is that he was diagnosed with ADHD and moderate-to-severe autism. Like many others with his conditions, he has speech delays. Naturally, our family sought out help and Kayla and her courses turned out to be game changing for the successful upbringing of my nephew. My nephew was non-verbal for about his first 2.5 years. Because his parents were a little concerned, they got in touch with Kayla and picked up the course. Her course advised communication with sign language which has helped tremendously. The next time I saw him after they started the courses, he was speaking with his hands constantly. I was surprised how quickly he picked up signs like "I'm hungry" and "all done". Silly me thought at first his hand motions were his natural mannerisms because he was born in the Italian part of New York City. Eventually he would speak by repeating everything we were saying. It hit me. He had a photographic memory and he was like a computer just copying everything into his hard drive. I looked at my little card counting machine with dollar sign filled eyes. I immediately booked us a suite at the Venetian on the Vegas strip. To our demise, I found out that little kids are not allowed at the blackjack tables so I had to cancel our trip. Also, his mom was not fond of me taking him to a smoke-filled room packed with degenerates like myself. On top of that, it turns out from Walkie Talkie's videos, his repeating is a matter of speech development. It is an interim stage of him practicing his words and sounds but not fully using them for communication purposes. But you hold on tight little buddy.. we'll crack the casinos together one day. Fast forward a few months and there was one incident where I found him shrieking like a bloody murder was happening. I couldn't tell if he had just gotten stabbed in the back by OJ or if he was practicing for an audition of an Amber Heard marital fight scene. At that moment, my training from the videos kicked in. I asked him in a calm tone, "what are you feeling right now?" He screamed: "It's a lion!" I jumped out of my seat and turned around to see if there were any furry feline predators that had escaped and entered my living room... In my defense, I do actually live pretty close to the San Diego Zoo. Apparently, I hadn't watched enough of the Walkie Talkie videos because it turns out that he was expressing his feelings by describing an animal that makes him feel scared because he was hanging out with me and missed his mother. Once I learned about this, I couldn't have been more proud of the kid. Even fully grown adults aren't able to identify their feelings sometimes, let alone have such colorful descriptions of them . Throughout the lessons, I learned that a nephew like mine has the ability to unlock his communication skills in many ways that may not be taught or catered to in a traditional school setting. I know that he is a really intelligent human being and will be able to strengthen his verbal skills through the exercise and training that Walkie Talkie Speech Therapy offers. Through these courses, I can see my nephew reaching his optimal potential which is to become the next Elon Musk minus his douche-baggery and twitter account. To rate Walkie Talkie Speech Therapy anything less than five stars would be to condemn life itself.

Not only did our child meet every single goal she set, but the confidence and willingness to try new things has grown just as much as the physical skills.
