Maryland Speech + Feeding (Maryland MSF)

The entire team here is absolutely AMAZING!! This is our second home! My level II son is the patient here but they are so hands on with my infant daughter, even holding her and playing with her while I’m working with my son.

Came to say we had a wonderful experience for open play. I arrived with a crying newborn and tantruming toddler to MSF doors. I had seen online they had open play. I figured this would be a "safe" and close by, first adventure out.

Worst experience with MSF, Would not recomend. My son had his evaluation for Speech and Occupational. I decided to start with OT only. They were pushy to start both and even did speech assessment without my consent. I notified MSF that to start prio-authorization which they didn't submit until after assessment. It took three weeks to obtain prior-auth and MSF placed us on waitlist. When I inquire on waitlist now, they don't even answer my phone call or reply to my text. Billing is other concern, over charged us on assessments.

We just had our daughter’s 2nd birthday at MSF and it was hands down the best party we have thrown! Venita made the party planning SO easy, checked in leading up until party day and on party day she was the most helpful host. Always checking in if we needed anything, and willing to help however possible to make her party great. The facility was SO clean and the play area is like a kids dream. We had kids from 2 to 8 and they all had an absolute BLAST! We cannot wait to throw another party there and will definitely be attending regularly for drop in play! 10000/10 recommend!

Maryland Speech and Feeding has been absolutely phenomenal in helping my son with his speech development. They’ve taken every concern I’ve had seriously, big or small, and have shown so much care and understanding. They celebrate every milestone and truly support both me and my child through the process. The team is kind, encouraging, and makes you feel heard as a parent. They’re also super accommodating with scheduling, which has made everything so much easier. If you’re looking for a place that genuinely cares about your little one’s growth, I highly recommend Maryland Speech and Feeding. 1,000 stars from a very grateful mom! 💛

I’m very thankful to have found Maryland MSF’s Tiny Tots group spring of 2023 and was able to get the support I needed for my son! As a first time mom I didn’t know a lot of things about development for kids. I was told by the pediatrician to wait until he was 1 and then to get him help if he wasn’t meeting those milestones. Kara talked with me and told me that her practice could help my son. My son (diagnosed with Global Developmental Delay) has been going to Maryland MSF for about a year and a half for occupational therapy and speech therapy. He currently loves seeing Mattea and Jess for speech and OT! He was going for PT in the beginning but hasn’t had it since August. The practice doesn’t have one currently available. He still needs PT, I’m not sure when they will have availability open. Mattea has been so great with my son! She is very thorough and is so great with him. She was very helpful when it came time to get my son an AAC device! Made the process so much easier! We were seeing Erica for PT and she was able to get my son to crawl on hands and knees after a long time of only army crawling. We then went through the process of trying a gait trainer with her (not an easy process and a lot of miscommunication making it things really difficult). Once he mastered crawling we worked on walking, which he hated. I felt Erica wasn’t allowing him the regulation and emotional support he needed in order to succeed in walking. We tried co treating with OT for the regulation, but he refuses to walk now and will only cruise, pull to stand, but will not walk without holding onto anything or with us holding his hands. I was also informed at the end of our PT session that Erica was leaving indefinitely. For OT he is now seeing Jess! He loves her and has made a lot of progress with him in the last couple of sessions. He’s had a couple of different OTs and was without OT for a month or 2 until Jess came. Kaitlyn was his previous OT and she was one of the best we had. We’re so happy to be working with Jess as she is great with him and he’s always so excited to go play! Kara, the owner, is so friendly, kind, and definitely a mom’s mom. She is someone I feel I can go to for any issues, especially in motherhood. Her and her practice validated my concerns about what our pediatrician said about waiting. I’ve had more support from Maryland MSF than I have with most of the drs/therapists/etc my son and I have seen since I found out I was pregnant. Her practice is the village I wish I had discovered earlier. When i decided to have more babies, I know I have a supportive place to go to. Thank you Maryland MSF!

Our family cannot say enough about Maryland MSF. Our daughter has been receiving speech therapy since she was just six weeks old, so we have had years of experience with different providers. Without question, no speech practice has been more thoughtful, thorough, or consistent than Maryland MSF. For the past two and a half years, Maryland MSF has been nothing short of life-changing for our daughter. The care, expertise, and dedication of our daughter’s therapist go far beyond standard therapy - she takes the time to understand our daughter’s unique needs, builds her confidence, and creates a supportive environment where our daughter absolutely thrives. Every session feels intentional and purposeful, and the progress that our daughter has made under their guidance is nothing short of remarkable. As parents, we are forever indebted to the team at Maryland MSF. They have given our daughter not only her voice, but also the confidence to use it in the world. We recommend Maryland MSF wholeheartedly to every family we know seeking speech therapy services. Simply put, they are the best of the best.
