Testimonials
I cannot begin to explain how fortunate I am to have found to Denise Gage for help after having been implanted with a Cochlear Implant. I was not progressing (learning to hear and understand and I had become very frustrated). I asked my Doctor at UTSW if there were providers that I could work with to help. Denise has turned out to be an amazing provider, mentor and has helped me more than I thought possible. Very patient and knowledgeable, always has my best interest in mind. EXCEPTIONAL !!
Denise came highly recommended by our pediatrician when our 4 year old daughter was struggling to communicate. Denise was very informative during the diagnosis process and provided numerous resources on Apraxia of Speech. We have been working with her for 6 months and our daughter has shown drastic improvement. Denise is patient, focused, kind, sensitive, realistic, and persistent. Most importantly our child loves her and is confident in her improving speech abilities.
Denise has been a very valued Auditory Verbal Therapist in my son's post cochlear implant rehab. We had a hard time finding someone for these services and was very blessed to find Denise to add to our team. Denise was very persistent and stern (in a loving way) with my son to keep him focused and on track with articulation, word parts, and auditory processing. I highly recommend Denise for speech therapy and/or AVT services.
