What our parents are saying about us:
We love Southland! The staff, the owners, and the therapists are all amazing! The OT, PT, and ST are so great with my daughter and are great about updating me about her progress and making sure we are on the same page at home. The staff and owners have been nothing but kind, pleasant, and helpful. When any issue came up with my insurance, they were quick to handle and resolve the situation. I am so pleased with the care we’ve received here and would absolutely recommend! - A. Barksdale
I have been using Southland Therapy for the past 9 years. My 10 year old son is special needs and we have had multiple therapists over the years for feeding, speech, occupational, and physical therapy. Every therapist has been absolutely amazing and we adore the administrative staff. They make you feel like family and only want the best for your child. I noticed things with my other two children and the therapists we had addressed my concerns immediately and they worked with my doctor on getting referrals and processed getting evaluations and therapies scheduled quickly. We had issues with insurance approving weekly visits for one of my sons and Samantha, his OT, worked tirelessly and fought with them for over a year to get visits approved. He is finally getting the occupational therapy that he needed because of everything that she did for him! I can’t recommend this office enough! -E Cusatis
We love it here! Kat, Jenny and Brandi have played a huge role in my son Cale's development. I trust this team with my son and in today's world that can be difficult to find! Their skill set, guidance and communication are on point. They even go above and beyond to ensure Cale gets the time he needs to thrive. - Danielle N.
