“Small Steps has been such a blessing to our family. Our daughter loves to go see her treatment team weekly. She asks almost daily if she can go and play with clinicians. The professionalism of our team and skill set that they have is amazing. We are so fortunate to have Small Steps as such a resource for our family as a whole. Thank you!”
"Finding Small Steps was the biggest blessing to our family. My son has seen a few different clinicians and everyone has always been so kind and just amazing! The understanding and compassionate staff at Small Steps go above and beyond to make each kid feel comfortable to grow in ways I as a parent have only dreamed of seeing my child achieve."
"I cannot emphasize the impact of the therapy my daughter received. It has been so reassuring working with a team of specialists in oral ties and knowing that my daughter is on track. I have been able to reach out with questions and our clinicians are always quick to respond. I noticed big improvements during my daughter's time in their care. I highly recommend this practice for oral tied babies and only wish we had started going sooner!"
"We are in the best care when at Small Steps. They make us feel comfortable and at ease. They are personal but maintain professionalism. I would 10/10 recommend Small Steps to anyone needing any of their services."
