"My brother suffered a hemorrhagic stroke five years ago, which left him with aphasia and ataxia. When his therapist had to leave, I researched clinics in his area that would offer the best possible rehab. We found that through iRehab Services. Christie has been working with my brother for about three years. My brother looks so forward to his two sessions a week with her. She builds his confidence but is also very honest and thorough. She sends the family monthly reports on his progress, which are so enlightening and informative. I would recommend this clinic without reservations."

"As the result of a TBI, I have been a patient of SLP, Sharon Lindow, at iRehab for the past year. She created a targeted treatment plan that addresses the specific challenges in my daily activities. It sometimes feels as though a friend is helping me out with a problem, but behind that friendly face is a dedicated professional pushing me to do the very best I can. My future does not seem quite so bleak, and the sessions with her have given me a chance to live a more normal life. She is one of the very few people I have met who truly understands what is going on in my screwed-up brain. She's the best!"

"I was seen by the amazing staff at iRehab for a TBI in the summer of 2024. My therapist, Erin, was the consummate professional—attentive, encouraging, and highly organized. Every session was thoughtfully crafted to meet my goals while adapting to my progress. Erin was incredibly supportive, always answering questions and going above and beyond to provide additional resources. Before therapy even began, the staff was extremely helpful in explaining the process and navigating insurance and payment. As a natural health professional, I have already referred several clients to iRehab and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone who needs support. Five stars!"
