Unsatisfactory Experience
Some reviewers have reported having a poor experience with Thrive Children's Therapy. Two reviewers, E. and Meg M., have given the clinic 1-star ratings, expressing frustration with unprofessional communication and care. E. described Alysha, a staff member, as "rude" and Meg M. felt that the clinic prioritized money over genuinely supporting children. Meg M. even had to escalate the issue to Speech Pathology Australia.
Positive Reviews
On the other hand, most reviewers have had positive experiences with Thrive Children's Therapy. Nine reviewers have given the clinic 5-star ratings, praising the clinic's professionalism, approachability, and effectiveness. They have reported significant improvements in their children's communication, confidence, and overall well-being.
Specific Strengths
Reviewers have highlighted several strengths of the clinic. They appreciate the clinic's attention to detail, kind nature, and professionalism. Some reviewers have noted that the therapists have been able to provide extensive research and reasoning behind their methods. Additionally, some reviewers have praised the clinic's efforts to involve parents in the therapy process and provide them with tools and skills to support their children outside of sessions.
Concerns and Red Flags
The negative reviews have raised concerns about unprofessional communication and care. Some reviewers have reported feeling unheard and ignored, and have questioned the clinic's priorities. However, most reviewers have not experienced these issues, and the positive reviews suggest that these concerns may be isolated incidents.
