TESTIMONIALS

Kay Gabbard, Director Malibu Methodist Nursery School 1978-2016

"...I have known D'Na as a Therapist for about 17 years and can only speak highly of her both as a Mom and as a professional Therapist. For that many years she has been a part of our community of people who work with children at this end of Malibu who need a little extra care. She has always maintained the highest standards of professionalism, followed through, been prompt and knowledgeable. Our staff respects her as well as the parents of the children she has worked with..."

"I am an occupational therapist in private practice and a vendor for Westside Regional Center. I have worked closely with Dna on a mutual case. This particular case has been incredibly challenging due to the client's delicate medical status. The family had many negative experiences with past physical therapists, so this case required a very mindful and knowledgeable physical therapist to create a positive therapeutic relationship with the client and his family. Dna executed this brilliantly and has made a significant impression on this young boy's quality of life. I am incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Dna on this case.

I am confident that Dna carries this high standard of mindful therapeutic practice and professionalism with her into the homes of each of her clients. Dna is a skilled physical therapist with extensive experience, and she is very patient, caring, and kind..."

"...I have known Dna since 2001 when our children attended preschool together at Malibu Methodist Nursery School. I had always liked and admired Dna, but when my daughter Mary was born in February of 2010, I came to know Dna on a professional level.

My daughter Mary, now 5 years old, was born with a diagnosis of Down Syndrome. I knew little about the physical needs of children with Down Syndrome but I knew Dna was a physical therapist and I sought her out to be Mary's P.T. as I knew she had a sterling reputation as a health professional.

From the fall of 2010 until Mary turned 3 in 2013, Dna worked as Mary's physical therapist. Mary came to love Dna from the very first session. I had heard from many other mothers how their children dreaded physical therapy and would cry whenever their PT arrived for their session. Mary was the opposite. She was always delighted to spend time with Dna who made every session engaging and fun. Dna would also spend a lot of time explaining to me what she was doing with Mary so that I better understood how I could help her between appointments.

Dna had tremendous success with Mary. She was walking by her second birthday, a milestone I really didn't think was possible. She now has very good muscle tone as compared to her peers who also have Down Syndrome. I believe this is because Mary always saw these sessions as play rather than work. I can never thank Dna enough for her competence, conscientiousness, and genuine concern for my daughter, Mary. Dna has so much integrity. She loves her work and she has a heart of gold.

I give Dna my highest recommendation. I think you will find her to be diligent and professional..."

"Dna Moore was the physical therapist providing weekly, in-home therapy for my son Jonathan from the time he came home from the NICU until he turned 3 years old and went into the school system for services (April 2006 - March 2009).

Dna always came prepared with varied, fun, age appropriate activities that always engaged Jonathan. He really enjoyed working with her and was excited to get right to 'work' as soon as she arrived. Jonathan's neurologist commented that he had made strides that far surpassed his expectations. He thrived during that 3 year period, in no small part due to the help and support we received from Dna.

We have been beyond happy and grateful for Dna and the services she provided for our son and our family during that time, and would highly recommend her!..."
