Our time with Brainworks has been easy and informative. From the first inquiry phone call to the assessment results, the communication is great. Dr. Howard is wonderful, she explained clearly what the assessment entailed and went through the results with us to ensure we understood. Overall a great experience.

I spent 3 years trying to get my son properly assessed but kept hitting roadblocks with insurance and long waitlists. Last year I decided to switch insurance, which led me to reach out to SD BrainWorks who confirmed that they had an opening to see Dr. Howard, and I’m so glad I took it. My son was tested at the end of February, and I received his full report by the end of April, which is such a quick turnaround compared to what I’d experienced before. Dr. Amelia Howard was warm, easy to talk to, and truly listened to my concerns. My son felt comfortable with her and even enjoyed the process, which surprised me. Now we finally have the answers and resources we need to support him. I’m incredibly grateful for SD BrainWorks and highly recommend Dr. Amelia Howard.
