I love it there. All of the therapists take great care of daughter. My daughter loves to come to therapy and we have seen so much progress since starting speech at Summit. -Jani Peters
Summit has the most heart warming therapists. They are all AWESOME! Thank you all for caring and loving what you do. Twyla at the front desk is simply AMAZING too! -Sara Zuniga
My son has been with Summit Pediatrics since he was 18 months old. At that time he could not even sit up without assistance. Fast forward to 30 months old and my son is now walking. Though some days felt slow, I could tell he was improving with each visit to PT. Thank you for helping my son!! -Kylie Jones
