Mercedes is an exceptional Speech-Language Pathologist who is deeply committed to compassionate, patient-centered care. She is thorough and thoughtful in her assessments and demonstrates strong clinical judgment and diagnostic expertise.
Mercedes was my clinical supervisor, and she set an outstanding example of family-centered, equitable, and evidence-based care. Eight years later, I still look to her as an example of the clinician I strive to be, and her approach continues to influence my own approach to patient care.
I would recommend Mercedes without hesitation for speech and feeding services. I have complete confidence in her ability to provide high-quality, evidence-based care while thoughtfully partnering with families.
Mrs. Delgado is an amazing therapist. She helped my son with his specific speech and language needs, using a variety of methods that he enjoyed. She found a way to connect with my child and he loved his therapy sessions.
Working with Mercedes was a game changer. I don’t think my son would be where he is now without her support. Her attention to detail made a world of a difference in his development. She noticed things that his doctors didn’t, gave me strategies, and helped me to learn how to advocate for my son. Our sessions were always helpful and judgement free. I would recommend her to anyone looking to provide support for their kiddo and I will definitely keep her in mind if my next child shows delays in feeding/speech/language. I am so grateful that she was my child’s service provider and I will forever be grateful for her support.
Mercedes was such an encouraging, thorough, attentive, and knowledgeable therapist for my son. He bonded with her immediately and I really appreciated her passion to equip and empower me as a parent! I learned a ton from her and saw so much growth in my son’s development and speech throughout our time with her. I can’t recommend her services enough! She was the best!
