What recent reviews say

Most reviewers describe Epworth's therapists, especially Sara Lynn and Emma, as warm, skilled with children, and effective at helping kids overcome obstacles through play. One customer reported waiting 15+ minutes with no staff response at a scheduled 3:30 pm appointment and felt the receptionist was unresponsive and unprofessional.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.
