This place is so unprofessional. Starting with the director Fidel. He has it understaffed. Don’t know why they claim to be 24 hours? He badgered and disrespected my husband who was just released from hospital. Arrangements were made from hospital. We wouldn’t of picked this home health. They wanted my husband to self inject his antibiotic with one arm using his left hand to do it himself. My husband has end stages of renal failure/congestive heart failure and is getting dialysis 3 times a week. Fidel took it upon himself to try to rearrange my husband’s dialysis time slot to suit his nurses schedule yet they claim to be 24 hours! Fidel is so asinine, cocky, narcissistic, and lacks human empathy for terminally ill patients. Don’t let them care for your loved ones!!!! To Fidel: Go find another job preferably at the dog shelter from how you treated my husband you better suited there with the animals. Careful they’ll at least BITE YOU but well deserved!!!! I WILL reach out to LMC Hospital and Doctor’s Hospital tell them not to recommend BrightStar to their patients.

The 1st time they came to help my knee replacement I gave them a 5. But when my MD rx another 6 weeks of PT, they just couldn't get my Dr's orders to begin my second round of PT. It seems like they don't want the extra work. I hope they get honest and get my plan of care implemented before my knee gets stiff.

We are so happy with the therapy services our son has been receiving from Mrs. E Trevino. She is very professional, caring, and patient. Our son’s articulation has improved dramatically. We feel his school grades have improved as well because of his speech therapy sessions. We are so happy to have her as our son’s therapist, and we are very happy to recommend her services.

My son has been with Bright Star Therapy for the past two years and his speech has improved tremendously with the help of Dallas Lopez. I’ve recommended their services to my friends and family. He has gone above and beyond to help my child succeed and his patience towards my child is unmeasurable. Highly recommend this company and most of all Mr. López. Thank you for loving your profession and loving what you do.
