“We love Monkey Mouths. We have seen Rhonda and are currently working with Tricia in Occupational Therapy for my baby. When we saw Rhonda, she was so incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and caring. She gave me so much information that I had been seeking answers for and she explained things thoroughly. You can tell she is passionate about her job and loves what she does. I would highly recommend her to anyone. Tricia is so amazing and knowledgeable as well. She has really helped my baby in areas he needs to work on, after a little over a month with her I am already seeing huge improvement.
She is great at explaining and showing areas that need working on for your little one to thrive. She is confident, kind, helpful and I can tell you she is passionate about her work and loves what she does as well. I love how caring both Rhonda and Tricia are. Monkey Mouths is a wonderful place overall, the front office staff is so sweet and kind. I love their smiles and feeling welcomed when I walk in. Also, the inside of the office and offices are so adorably decorated. I recently just went into the “gym/playroom” they have for therapy, and it is such a fun way for your little ones to be getting their therapy. I feel so thankful we found Monkey Mouths; they make you feel like family!”
