On December 16, 2023, Amanda, the SUPERVISOR, and Jessica were overheard at the front desk making fun of a parent who only spoke Spanish and had requested an interpreter. Instead of Amanda, Jessica was asked to interpret for the parent. Afterward, Jessica said, "Yuck, he is so gross!!" Amanda replied, "I know! That's why I had you interpret because he is creepy!
Oh, and your scheduler is a HUGE dope head. She's high everyday of every week.
If you are a parent to a child with Autism or have a child with Special Needs, you know how hard it can be to navigate the journey. Before Cortica, my family was dealing with insurance issues to figuring out philosophies and methodologies.
I am so thankful for Cortica s dedication and support of my son from the bottom of my heart. All the people I have come across at Cortica are an integral part of my son s life and my family s life. From the therapists, front desk reception, scheduling staff, medical staff, billing staff, ABA staff, they all are the village helping my husband and I raise my son so he can reach his full potential and be satisfied in his life. We have been at Cortica for a year now and I think it was the best decision my husband and I made for him. Cortica is an exceptional place as you can see each staff member support you and your family s needs. The comprehensive approach at Cortica fosters growth in the child as it is building the foundation from its core.
Thank you for helping my son learn and grow!
My child is not an autistic patient. He has epilepsy, which comes with its own behavioral challenges. We came to Cortica a year and a half ago at the recommendation of another epilepsy mom in San Diego after failing with 4 other neurologists. Cortica was the first clinic that treated my son s behavior and not just his seizures. I tell everyone I know in the epilepsy community that it was an autism specialist who finally gave my son the care he needed. In towns like San Diego, where there aren t many good pediatric epileptologists available, Cortica should widen its client base to include kids with epilepsy.
Courteous staff, pleasant Practioner, spacious welcoming clinic.
Erin was great with my boys focusing on them the whole time and valuing every comment they made. Dr Goh is lovely and has a caring and beautiful presence. We are happy to be a part of Cortica family now!:)
Thanks for the wonderful experience!
Without Cortica, our child would not have the progress in her capabilities that we all enjoy today. Consistent and frequent visits with the team at Cortica has allowed our child to matriculate into General Ed, independently communicate and engage with her peers appropriately, and independently problem solve and self soothe. This team is the only team I would recommend overwhelmingly for speech, OT, and Neurofeedback. They have been a tremendous blessing to our family!
Cortica is a world class institute that provides an all in one stop shop for advanced behavioral, nutritional and parental education for special needs children. It has cutting edge therapies that have assisted my special needs son to reach his full potential. I currently work at the crown jewel of medical research for the Government and have conversed with many intramural researchers and have heard nothing but good things about this innovative Doctor. What sets Cortica apart is the collaboration between the Doctors, therapists and parents to create a unified approach to treating their patients.
The staff is very nice and professional. Dr. Johnson is very knowledgeable, nice, approachable, has a great bedside manner and she s great with my son. Great doctor!
I like Cortica's way of looking into things. I feel it is very high level and majority parents I came across just wants instant results. Have patience and the fruits take time is what I think and works for my lil one too. Thanks Cortica
Excellent communication, brilliant doctors, therapists and office staff. Processes are clear and easy to follow. Parents are included as valuable members of the care team. Billing is clear and questions are answered quickly. I cannot say enough about how happy I am to have the opportunity to work with Cortica through my son s epilepsy journey.
