South Shore Speech Language Pathology's Online Review Report Card

I am a vocalist and Counselor, so I use my voice a tremendous amount daily. I was referred to Dr. Amato, and I am absolutely thrilled with the therapy I am receiving. He is not only teaching and reminding me of good vocal, hygiene and habits, but carefully explaining the anatomy and physiology of the voice and why these behaviors and habits are so important. Dr is also an absolute delight to work with, patient and extremely thorough, giving specific exercises and behaviors that I can immediately put into practice. I am in the very early stages of my work with Dr. Amato so I’m certain that I will have even more wonderful things to report, but I would recommend him so highly.

So happy for the services here my sons received. They have such a great staff and are so supportive always eager to help. If You're looking for a place with speech services. This is the place you want to go.

Came here for speech for my son and it’s been such a great experience. The SLP is great and very patient with my then K now 1st grader. She worked so well with him and made it fun for him. He’s improved so much in the time he’s been going. They took my insurance and conveniently located which is a bonus for me. Definitely would recommend.

-In a nutshell: I cannot say enough positive things about John Amato. My son’s present feeding therapist suggested that my son and daughter see John Amato for a second opinion. He was absolutely fantastic!! Working with John Amato really has been such a relief. I feel like we have someone in our corner, like another teammate helping me navigate the complicated puzzle of my kids’ health. GO SEE THIS MAN! YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!! -He looks at the big picture: My two children have a list of health issues that require seeing countless specialists to diagnose and treat them. As a result, we have had our fair share of encounters with providers. Out of the dozen professionals we have seen over the years, only TWO professionals truly seem to care about the children’s well-being, do not treat them like just another number/patient in their mill, and really take the time to look at the kids’ entire medical history to see how all of the pieces of the puzzle fit together to create a bigger picture. John Amato is one of those two professionals. He looks at the FULL picture and the FULL history to help us explore all possible issues for my kids then refers us to the appropriate specialities. He didn’t just consider the particular feeding issue at hand; he looked at the feeding issue to determine if it is possibly a symptom of a larger issue and if it is the cause of collateral symptoms. He was so knowledgeable and understood that many issues can be linked to things outside of the typical speech/feeding world. After we left his office, he then took the time to research other specialists that can treat my children’s other issues outside of feeding therapy and then he even called those specialists himself!!!! Then he left me a voicemail on my cell phone and took the time to reach me on my house phone the following day to follow up with the information for those specialists. -He spends a lot of time with the patient: At our appointment, he wanted to extend the appointment even more to spend some more time observing my son. He politely said he has another patient that needs to catch a bus so he must see her now—he was clearly so respectful of that patient’s time. He asked us to return in a half hour, so we did. He then spent another 45 minutes with us! That’s unheard of!!! -Office staff is great: His office staff and colleagues were so pleasant. Annmarie works at the front desk and is just such a breath of fresh air. She is polite, chatty, and doesn’t act like you are a nuisance if you have a questions or need help with the administrative things like billing, insurance, or copies of medical records. We also dealt with Regina and she was also so kind. They give you such a personal experience. It makes the entire encounter so enjoyable. Overall, I couldn’t be happier with this office and I would highly recommend it to everyone!!!
