Emerge Pediatric Therapy

"Our experience with Dr. Sarah Johnson at Emerge has been exceptional. Unsatisfied with the services we were getting from Duke, we were referred to Emerge by another preemie mom, and we found ourselves in the capable hands of a therapist who combines a wealth of clinical knowledge and a commitment to evidence based treatment with a whole child, family-centered, compassionate approach. With her guidance we're watching our baby overcome hurdles and conquer milestones. His progress has been truly incredible. The depth and breadth of Dr. Sarah's clinical skill set is impressive to see in action, but she has also been a trusted source of recommendations, information, and advocacy. As a new parent with a medically complex child, this level of support has been a game-changer. We're so grateful!"

"We have been going to Emerge off and on for 8 years. My son has had the most amazing therapists over the years. Currently he has a terrific OT and PT that have changed his life (and our lives!) drastically. Miss Mackenzie and Miss Alyssa have taught him countless things and helped him gain so much independence. I cannot even begin to describe how awesome it is to have such amazing therapists on his team. Emerge Pediatric Therapy is truly 5 stars and we are so grateful for the incredible kid-centered care there."

"We have had a wonderful experience with Sarah at Emerge! At 7 months old, our baby was still not rolling. We tried watching YouTube videos, talking with our pediatrician (including "just waiting and giving him time") and nothing seemed to help. We wanted to be proactive in supporting him, and Sarah was truly the perfect person to help us. She is patient, kind and very passionate about her work. She gave us an honest assessment about our babies development, pinpointed the exact thing he needed to make progress, and created a plan to help him. After just a few sessions following her guidance, we saw a huge improvement and our baby is now not only rolling, but gearing up to crawl! And while they don't take our insurance, the office team at Emerge also makes it very easy to get reimbursements. We will forever be grateful to Sarah for her support and care, and most importantly for helping our baby get back on track with his milestones!"

"I highly recommend Dr. Sarah Johnson !! My daughter started when she was 3 weeks old with torticollis and being referred by the dentist after tongue and lip tie! I give Sarah all the credit for everything my daughter has accomplished from sitting up at 4-5 months to crawling then to walking by 14 months . She is very knowledgeable at her profession, friendly with everyone, always give great advice to help with what we needed to work with at home & was very helping with bottle feeding . So glad that the dentist recommended her , she has been such an asset in my child life !! Pic is from dress up from Halloween!"

"Both of our children receive therapy at Emerge. We love it there! We feel so lucky to have gotten assigned to our speech therapist, Jamie, because it’s clear she really gets our kid. They also suggested getting our son services with DPS Pre-K which I probably never would have thought of on my own. When my daughter was born, Sarah was able to work my daughter in at last minute for weekly visits for a critical feeding issue and has guided us every step of the way. In terms of the facility, they have every single toy that ever existed and the coolest gym equipment I’ve ever seen. We waited on a waiting list so our son could be seen in-clinic for speech therapy and it was worth the wait."
