The Pediatric Development Center - Rockville

Our daughter has been coming to PDC for over a year she began therapy at 6 months of age. We love both of her therapists who have been instrumental in helping her to develop the strength and skills needed to progress and meet milestones. Scheduling is easy and front office staff are always kind and welcoming. We truly enjoy and appreciate our time at PDC and are tremendously grateful to them.

Jen Arya works with both my boys as their OT therapist Shes AWESOME with both of them and has really learned their likes and dislikes and applies that when working with their unique individual personalities. The boys really love her and shes great with each of them. Shes firm while being very loving and is very passionate in her work. Thats very noticeable and important to me as their parent. She always brings forth a very positive comforting and patient attitude every time she works with them. Shes a rockstar

PDC has been a great place for my little to gain self confidence learn new techniques and make great bonds. You can tell the therapists love what they do Erin H. Has been amazing very understanding.

Cancels last minute and rude scheduling personnel. Wont let me finish talking and very inconsiderate.First of all i asked for a day off way ahead of time for my sons evaluation appointment. I was told that the appointment was canceled bec the therapist called out. And they want to schedule my son for the next day. It is not easy to ask for a day off at the last minute because we got rescheduled for the following day. I think this is being inconsiderate. I scheduled this appointment way ahead so I could be granted off just to be told that it would be done the following day. To top it off i was told that i could call out from work so i could bring my son to his appointment. Wow will I get compensated by your center if I called out So easy for her to say these things without thinking. She was very rude wont let me finish my questions wont let me speak. Her last words to me when i got upset and canceled the appointment was okiedokie . She should be taught proper customer service manner. Whoever was working on Feb13 at your desk needs advice on treating clients properly.

My daughter who was once afraid of going to this clinic has made a remarkable transformation after meeting Ms. Christine. Her friendly and approachable...

The waitlist was a headache and calling them every month to check your status and when I was really about to give up I got a call my son had a speech delay and when he started seeing Mrs. McNally less then a month my son was talking new words and now his none stop talking he loves going and he loves the place nothing more at this place your child feels happy and ready to learn and play. We are so happy and grateful to God we found the great place and we are so grateful. His therapy sessions are the best.

Our boys have been seeing Chelsea for OT for many years and have made tremendous progress. She is skilled patient and kind.

I waited on their waiting list for about a year and my son started going to OT and he has been on the list for speech therapy for over eight months and nothing has moved. The Rockville location is the worst location. Their stuff do not care. Some of the therapists are great but the phone that stuff is horrible. There are two heavyset individuals that sit up front a male and a female . The male individual sits on the right hand side. He absolutely has no idea whats going on. Hes very unsympathetic and is not trained at all the just act like she doesnt know whats going on either and she is more of a deer with headlights . No one at that location knows anything. I regret taking my son here because his behavior shifted and he picked up a lot of bad habits coming here. I talk to the therapist over and over but even the therapist was like we can work on it. We can work on it but nothing changed it got worse. My son started coming here to learn how to treat toys and learn how to share because he is the only child we were struggling with that and it got worse. I absolutely wish that I did not bring him here. This is a warning from one mother to another mother please do not bring your child here. My son went from being very happy to anger issues. Stay away from here. if you are close to the Silver Spring office at Silver Spring office is great theres stuff is amazing go there

Dale has been our PT for the last three months my daughter was only two months old when we started torticollis and the experience has been excellent with her. Shes focused and pleasant to be around I can tell my daughter feels comfortable and it makes a world of difference. Alfredo at the front desk has also always been helpful and friendly. Thank you all

This is a difficult review to write but I think an important one so that others have some insight to consider when determining services for their kids. We...

The Pediatric Development Center is organized clean and most of all efficient and effective in what it does. One of my children receive therapy services here and it has been stellar so far. I would recommend this location to any parent in search for an answer to the puzzle that children can be. You will have the peace of mind knowing that your child is working with skilled therapists. You will receive updates on the progress of your child and will genuinely look forward to these sessions. The front office staff is very nice as well. Everyone here makes you feel like your child is special and deserving of reaching their full potential. I wish I would have known about this place sooner

Both of my children had a great experience at PDC. One of my sons went for both Occupational Therapy and Speech Therapy and the services helped him tremendously. My other son just had Occupational Therapy. All of the therapists we worked with were kind caring and highly skilled. My older son especially needed help as he had sensory problems as well as gross and fine motor delay. In addition the private evaluation that the PDC Occupational Therapy did helped my son with greater needs to get services through the county school system that he wouldnt have otherwise qualified for. The center was also great about scheduling communicating his progress with me. The boys both loved going and never complained once. I also enrolled my more special needs son in the sensory feeding group I think now it may be called Kids in the Kitchen. The experience was great and truly helped my son learn to try new foods that he would not have otherwise tried. The billing and staff at the front desk are all wonderful and PDC also offers free informational talks from various experts in the areas. All of the talks are relevant to parenting and the ones I attended were worth the time. The facility is clean and well maintained and they have a play areagym that the kids love that the therapist use to help the kids during their Occupational Therapy. Neither of my children need to go there any longer as they are all caught up thankfully. However if they were to ever need the services again I would not hesitate to take them back and I have also referred several of my friends there.
