Chicago Pediatric Therapy & Wellness Center, LLC

We adored working with Natalie Porter. There is no other way to say it other than she is gifted Both in her skilled practice of physical therapy and in her warm nature perfect for encouraging and connecting with children. Sessions with her flew by. She explained every intervention used to help our 19 month old take her first steps on her very first session--and also ways to continue learning and gaining confidence at home. The progress was fast. The confidence and knowledge gained invaluable. Enrolling in PT here was the best choice we could have made and were beyond thrilled to recommend this caring environment filled with the most capable and loving professionals Ive ever encountered. Im a little sad we graduated but now have a confident walking little girl to show for it. Thank you thank you to Natalie and Chicago Pediatric Therapy Wellness Center

My son hated any type of doctor appointments but these appointments he looked forward to. Ms. Amanda really knew how to relate to kids well and made the appointments fun and productive. She was a wealth of knowledge. Every appointment built upon the other but introduced something new to work on. If one thing didnt work she had something else in her bag of tricks. Would highly recommend her and this facility.

I had worked with the PT Alex Meeske regarding my son having torticollis and we have successfully completed all of his therapy sessionsI had originally had my son checked out at a clinic near my house but I felt like that therapist brushed off my concerns and was no help. I was honestly worried that when coming here the staff would automatically dismiss me as well just like the pediatrician and the prior place we went to but I was reassured over the phone that my son would receive a proper evaluation.Alex immediately seen the head tilt and confirmed the asymmetry that I also suspected he had . Therapy was then approved and we started the following week. My questions were always addressed and I was never made to feel like I was in the wrong or that anything I asked was crazy. If Im not mistaken it was around a 6 month process and we had weekly afternoon visits.My son recently turned 9 months doing very well getting around in his own little way and hitting all his milestones Its a night a day difference in how hes looking and moving with the help we recieved from therapy. I would 100 recommend this place to anyone that has a child that needs enrollment into a therapy program.I would also like to mention as a black mother I was consistently treated with respect and kindness not only by Alex but also by the staff that I interacted with as well which is an important part I wanted to touch upon within my review

Natalie Berra went above and beyond when my daughter had torticollis. I learned more about how to help my daughters gross motor development than from anywhere else. I didnt have a ton of mom friends in Chicago so Natalie became part of my village and Im eternally grateful to her. We stuck around longer than we needed to because she was so helpful and we loved our weekly appts with her so we kept going until my daughter mastered crawling. I couldnt recommend her enough

I cannot say enough great things about Melissa our speech pathologist and the whole team at CPTW. My son had torticollis and we started working with Melissa because he started PreK and was still drooling a lot. She provided oral motor therapy to improve his sensory awareness and he made so much progress I was amazed. Melissa is knowledgeable fun has the best energy and exudes passion for her craft and helping children. She also referred us to a pediatric dentist to help with mouth breathing and expanding his palette. We are so grateful for all the support he received

I couldnt have asked for a better place to bring my son after he was referred to PT for motor delay. Amanda was his therapist and I couldnt recommend her...

My daughter just completed physical therapy with Alex Meeske and we had an amazing experience Alex was so knowledgeable and always explained things...

Melissa was outstanding working with my 8 year old son to perfect his R sound. The progress started immediately. It is very important to do the work and practice she assigns for homework. More importantly she bonded with my son and created a fun relationship so he looked forward to his sessions. We liked how the therapists worked together to develop the best analysis and strategy possible. Thank you Melissa.

My daughter was in therapy here with Natalie Berra from age 17 months until we moved out of the city when she was 6. I can not say enough about how wonderful and impactful Natalie was for not only my daughter but for our whole family. When my daughter started therapy she could not yet walk and within a month of therapy she was walking. Natalie helped her through so many physical delays and made therapy a place that my daughter was excited to go even though the work was sometimes difficult. For me Natalie was much more than just my daughters PT. She was someone who would listen to me intently and would take the initiative to send me ideas and send her thoughts on things that she thought might help us. She remembered my daughters birthday important milestones and things she likeddisliked. I wish we still lived closer--she would still be doing PT there if we did

We have not been with CPTWC for long but I am looking forward to seeing my sons progress with OT Claire. Right away I can see she is so kind and patient. She really knows how to engage my son in activities that dont feel like work to him and keep him motivated. Claire also takes the time to answer any questions and let you know what she is working on at the end of each session. She is very responsive via email and so easy to communicate with. Thank you Claire I will update this review after we have been here for a longer period of time

We were referred to CPTWC by our daughters pediatrician last February when she was 5 months old and from our first session with Natalie Porter we knew this...

Our experience has been exceptional thus far. Everyone Ive had the pleasure of meeting has been incredibly friendly. Natalie Porter my sons PT has been particularly outstanding. Weve been coming for 2 months and he becomes really excited before each session and I can truly see an evolution in his development. Natalies expertise and her willingness to answer questions are truly impressive. Her ability to connect with Marco coupled with her patience in explaining home exercises reaffirms that choosing this therapy center for Marco was the right decision.

Went here for PT from my daughter starting at 2 months old. We were paired with Natalie Berra. Being a first time mom and having a baby with torticollis and muscle tightness was very scary and upsetting. Natalie was the absolute best. She really put me at ease with the stretches and exercises that we did. Everything was very play based so it made it fun for my daughter and for me. We saw monumental progress and she continues to excel thanks to Natalies guidance and expertise. We now just do check ins periodically to make sure she is progressing appropriately. Would highly recommend Natalie and the Chicago pediatric Therapy staff to anyone on the fence of getting therapy for their child. Its one of the best choices I made for my daughter and I am so thankful for them.
