“My name is Megan and I was/am a first time mom when I first went to see Dr. Eaton. My son was diagnosed with Erb's Palsey at birth due to a labor and delivery injury. We were told it typically resolves itself after a few days but in some cases it may never resolve. Our son's Pediatrician referred us to Dr. Eaton, and at the age of 3 months he started therapy. Dr. Eaton was very knowledgeable and explained very clearly what needed to be done to help improve my sons condition. She gave me exercises to do daily at home with him between our therapy sessions. Due to the Erb's Pasley we had some feeding and head shape issues that came up along the way and she was very resourceful and helped guide us in the right direction to get the help our son needed. As a first time mom all of this was very scary not knowing how this condition could effect our son for the long term Dr. Eaton was very kind and straight forward about potential limitations he may encounter. Fortunately after 6 months of Physical Therapy he was caught up to his peers, I cried the day he started crawling because we weren't sure if her ever would. It is all thanks to Dr. Eaton and her vast knowledge in pediatric physical therapy."

“Samantha Eaton started seeing my son, Callan, when he was 4 months old. At the time, we had lots of questions - his development was not on track, his pediatrician diagnosed him with abnormal muscle tone (hypertonia), he had multiple asymmetries, and neurological symptoms started to present and became more apparent over time. He stopped eating - he couldn't coordinate and would often choke while feeding. He also wouldn't sleep - and we started wondering if these neurological symptoms were connected to his high muscle tone and issues with his reflexes/overall movement. We wondered if he had a neuromuscular disorder. As a mom, there's no worse nightmare than knowing something is off with your child - and not knowing what it is. A few providers raised the question about Cerebral Palsy - but it was hard to say when he was so young and didn't have an MRI. Even though we didn't have a diagnosis, I knew we needed to start him in therapy ASAP.

Samantha met me at a time in my life when I felt hopeless. In Bastrop, it is hard to access care. Oftentimes, we needed to drive into Austin - which is incredible inconvenient and sometimes impossible with 2 young children and a full-time job. When I came across Hatched PT, it was an answered prayer. Samantha started seeing my son 1-2 times per week at home - where he could feel more comfortable and get the most out of each session. Long story short - today he is 16 months and thriving. He has met all his milestones - crawling at 9 months, walking at 13 months - and now he's nearly sprinting around the house. When he was 4 months old, we didn't know if he would meet those milestones. It was the hardest, lowest moment of my life - and Samantha got us through it - working with my son diligently, consulting with her colleagues, and doing her best to provide answers and reassurance. She did just that and more for my family - and we are forever grateful! I know in my heart that he is so healthy today because of the thoughtful care he received so early on in his life. Needless to say, I would HIGHLY recommend Samantha to anyone in need of therapy for their child.”
