To say I love this place would be an incredible understatement. My 8 yr... old daughter sees Ricky, and he is by far the BEST we have been with. Life changing!! I’ve seen incredible improvements since we began going, and I have peace of mind, which for a mother, is absolutely priceless. I have recommended Ricky to countless people and their experiences have been the same. He not only works with my daughter, but he communicates with me about what’s going on and gives me guidance in between visits. He is so so wonderful, I highly recommend!!!read more
