What ages do you evaluate and treat?We evaluate and treat all pediatric patients (birth to 21 years of age) and various diagnoses for adults. Reach out to us, and we can help you determine if we are a good fit for you.
-
Why do you not take insurance?Time, quality of care, and convenience. Not accepting insurance saves us time and you time. There is no wait time to get started on therapy. No gaps in therapy when your insurance expires or the authorization expires. We are also able to provide the care you need with extra time without insurance dictating what type and when we will provide therapy. This allows us as clinicians to spend more time on you and to provide excellent care. You will not be rushed in and out. You will have a personalized healthcare plan. You will not have to spend time waiting in a crowded waiting room. You spend more quality time face to face with your therapist and less time waiting. You also will not be shuffled between therapy techs. This overall provides the clinician time to have direct access to you and your needs when you need it. **We do take FSA and HSA cards if you have one.

Can you see me for a virtual visit?Yes, we are now doing virtual visits (telehealth) through our HIPAA compliant EMR system. Call us to determine if you are appropriate for virtual visits.

Do you take my insurance?We recommend that you have health insurance, but we do not accept or file with any insurance. **We do accept HSA and FSA cards if you have one.

What do you mean by a "home evaluation"?Many times, our patients have been sent home from the hospital without any time of instruction on how to actually function at home. Holly will come to your home before a surgical procedure or before you or your loved one are discharged from the hospital and provide recommendations for equipment, rearranging of furniture, need for home health services, etc.

Do you have Speech therapy and Occupational therapy available?Yes, we have speech and occupational therapy on a limited basis. Please call us directly to inquire about these services, and we can determine if our therapists can help you.
