In patients' words
"I can only speak about my experience with one speech therapist at Wala'au that I've had the displeasure of working with. Stephanie Mullin. I find her to be rude, condescending and passive aggressive. She uses baby talk with my client and not surprisingly, lacks rapport with them. ... I would never allow my family members to work with her because I fear she'd damage their self esteem, thus hindering progress."
