Buffalo Occupational Therapy - West Seneca

I am very impressed with the quality of service at Buffalo Occupational Therapy (BOT). They care about the people and really take time to understand, make and meet the goals the individual needs. I was scheduled for shoulder surgery. I had had physical therapy that did not provide relief. After a couple weeks of kinesiology taping from BOT my shoulder had so vastly improved I cancelled the surgery. There came a time months later I could not walk without pain. I was literally dragging myself up the stairs at home and avoiding them everywhere else. After returning to BOT they located the muscles that needed work. I had been to The neurosurgeon but I did not want surgery. After 8 weeks of Occupational Therapy at BOT I was walking again pain free. I highly recommend Buffalo Occupational Therapy to manage pain, regain strength, and live confidently. Eileen Reiner

I have been going to BOT for 1 1/2 months and in that time I have seen significant progress in strengthening the muscles around my hip to avoid surgery. Prior to coming to BOT I had seen a Physical Therapist for almost 2 years and had no where near the improvement that I have had with OT. Michelle and her staff are extremely caring, knowledgeable and interested in my betterment.

I participated in the Bridge course and found it so helpful! I’m a new grad from a Masters OT program and this course brought a great real-world perspective to functional anatomy that helped me bridge what I learned in school to what will actually happen when I have my own caseload. Michelle is so knowledgeable and a fantastic teacher. I highly recommend this course to any occupational therapy practitioners!

I highly recommend Buffalo Occupational Therapy's Web Portal! The treatment videos are invaluable for finding creative and evidence-based intervention ideas. The videos, rationale for each activity, as well as grading strategies and hints for appropriate diagnoses make this a wonderful resource for occupational therapy practitioners and students alike. The Documentation Database is also incredibly helpful for learning and using quality documentation strategies. As an occupational therapy student on my first placement, BOT's Web Portal has been a game-changer! Thanks to the fantastic therapists at BOT for taking the time to curate this resource.

I have been diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment and attending weekly sessions at BOT for over a year with Hannah. They have given me the tools and supplemental activities that I need to maintain and increase my cognitive abilities. I would highly recommended BOT because of the dedicated professional and non judgement staff.

I have a foot drop and a wrist injury and needed and OT. I so lucked out with Michelle Eliason! I did a google search for an OT near my house and her website came up. I'm so grateful it did! She and her staff are fantastic. Having gone to PT where there are multiple clients being attended to by one PT at the same time, I was quite surprised at the one on one attention I got! I mean literally. My entire sessions are done by Michelle personally! I have been going to her for several months and couldn't be happier with her level of expertise (and hence positive results), down to earth personality, and flexibility with scheduling. I highly recommend her OT services!

I completed the Bridge Program with Michelle and Hannah and it was the best! I am a OTA student currently and it gave me more confidence going into my third semester after having the summer off. I feel as if they really took the time to make sure that I was learning the material and knowing how to apply it in practice. They are the best team and it’s an honor to learn under them!

The qualified staff at BOT is extraordinary in their effort to develop a plan to counter my symptoms, which they consistently update at each session. They are very knowledgeable when answering any question, issue or concern that I have. Their professionalism starts at the top with the owner and extends down to each employee. They give me the insight on how to live with my disease. I highly recommend Buffalo Occupational Therapy for neurological therapy.
