Casey Brackett

We took our one month old daughter to see Jess when we noticed it was taking a lot of time for her to finish a bottle and she was falling asleep feeding. Jess was thorough in evaluating, hearing our concerns, and coming up with a plan that was reasonable for our family to maintain and effective at improving all areas of feeding for our daughter. We quickly saw improvements and felt confident our daughter was finally getting what she needed. Jess is incredibly knowledgeable, personable, kind, and patient-centric. She’s the best!

Jessica at Kentucky Therapy Solutions has been incredibly helpful to our child’s speech development. Our child has progressed considerably under her guidance. She identified key physical barriers that were overlooked by physicians at one of the nation’s top children’s hospital. Jessica is genuinely engaged with her patients, demonstrating the utmost care and patience. She’s absolutely the best!!!
