Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Dana is the simply best! My daughter has worked with Dana for 3 years for gross motor and sensory integration issues and has seen significant improvement. Not only is Dana extremely knowledgeable in her field, she is personable, caring and an out of the box thinker. My daughter adores her and looks forward to their sessions. I will be forever grateful that our paths crossed and would recommend Dana to anyone without hesitation.

Dr Dana has been taking care of our young child for many months with outstanding and lasting results. Most importantly, though, is her extremely personable, caring, and thorough style of practice. She treats our child like a whole person, showing sensitivity and care for all aspects of his development. This whole experience was a positive change in all our lives.

Dr. Dana came highly recommended by my daughter’s orthotist when we identified she had torticolis. Since my daughter has been in physical therapy with Dr. Dana she has shown a lot of improvement and started crawling during one of her sessions!! Kind, compassionate, knowledgeable, helpful, and authentic are all words I would use to describe Dr Dana. Can’t thank her enough!

My son Joey was recently discharged from PT with Dana. We drove quite a distance to see her but it was completely worth it. My (then) four year old was so motivated by her energetic personality, her colorful, kid-friendly office, and all of her creative play-based ways to target his goals, I can't imagine him making as much progress with anyone else. My 5 year old who received services for balance and coordination delays is now riding a bike without training wheels! He's come a long way!

Dr. Dana is the best there is! She is so passionate about that she does, and truly cares about the kids she works with. She is patient and gentle, and knows when a baby needs a break! She came to every session with new exercises, with handouts for my family to work with at home, and really went above and beyond anything I expected for an infant who needs PT. My baby made huge improvements very quickly, and we miss seeing Dr. Dana every week!
