Starfish has been wonderful for our family. Heather is a phenomenal PT who helped our very shy 3yo feel safe and comfortable right away. Since we started there almost two years ago, our child has improved significantly and can now do things that I never thought were possible. Heather has just the right blend of support and challenge, and her upbeat style is contagious. I love watching her work with my child.

Super family-friendly and professional physical therapy office. My son had torticollis when he was born and we were originally referred to another provider. However, we never heard back from that provider after following up twice, so I went on Yelp and found Starfish. Our therapist Nicole is extremely kind, patient, and knew exactly how to handle my child. Also, Margaret who handles all the insurance, scheduling, and payments is really responsive and easy to work with. I highly recommend anyone looking for a trustworthy physical therapist to come here.

Stacy and her team are the best PTs around. They're great with kids -- experienced, enthusiastic, and full of compassion. They treat kids of all ages and abilities. Highly recommend.

Starfish Therapies is wonderful! They provide therapies all suited to better serve your child's needs to help them reach their full potential. Starfish's events are incredibly fun as well as educational. It is always great getting to spend time with my family and learning something new too! Would definitely recommend Starfish Therapies!

Starfish Therapies is a very warm and caring Pediatric Physical Therapy company. Kids love coming here because it is interactive and fun! The therapists truly care for the kids as can be seen through their interactions and the progress they make with the kids.

I was almost starting to feel bad for my recent bad streak of not-so-good experiences. Think I might take a break from food ... maybe it's a sign?
Let me share with you a review that not many people may have the oppportunity to experience.
Starfish Therapies provides pediatrics physical therapy to children under 3 years old with disabilities. My daughter has been getting services from them in past weeks and they are 100% pleasant to work with, and at the same time- effective. They recently brought in equipement from Europe to the US, and is positively making an impact. They are real people.

Where do I begin?! This place is beyond exceptional. I worked with Stacy the owner with my daughter who was behind on rolling. She was patient, flexible with our time and knowledgable. She went above and beyond to help support us on this trying time as new (and concerned) parents. Luckily, we do not need physical therapy any longer, but if I ever have any issues in the future I am confident she would be there for advice or just a listening ear. Do not bother with any other therapist... she is who you want working with your child.

We have worked with Starfish Therapies for almost two years, and Stacy has made an amazing difference in my daughter's physical abilities. Stacy is not only extremely knowledgeable and effective at physical therapy for children, but she really knows how to work with children in a way that is fun for them. Stacy brings a huge box of toys and games for children to use in the therapy. And, she knows how to talk to children and motivate them.
Starfish Therapies has also been extremely helpful in navigating the world of insurance reimbursements and other paperwork for us. Corrine is fantastic! Stacy also goes out of her way to do evaluations and write up detailed reports for schools and insurance companies.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Chris C.San Jose, CA07Feb 1, 2017
Starfish Therapies is an outstanding therapy clinic with caring and knowledable therapists. My son has seen a number of physical therapists here, and all have been energetic and willing to help him meet his goals. They really take the time to get to know their clients and go the extra mile. I've known Stacy, the owner, for over 15 years and have never met a more thoughtful, realistic, and caring physical therapist who is in business for the right reasons. It's no wonder that my son has always liked going to physical therapy at Starfish and has continued to improve in his physical abilities and strength. We drive over two hours each week for one hour of therapy, and while I wish their office was closer, it is well worth the added time.
