Center For Developing Minds

Dr. Korb was recommended to us by our pediatrician and two other parents when we moved to California and wanted to get our son evaluated. It was a little different for us that he did not accept any insurance, but at the same time, his wait time for an appointment was 3 – 6 months less than at Packard, and his office was closer to our home. So we decided to move forward to access treatment earlier.
My son was a patient at the Center for two years. He received his diagnosis and Dr. Korb was great about giving us providers in our area of Morgan Hill/​Gilroy that could help with OT services. We also saw Dr. Korb for 30 minutes every quarter so that he could monitor our son and keep his meds on track as he grew.
Dr. Korb, like my kiddo, is kind of quirky. I think that’s what my son liked about him the most. Dr. Korb was easy to talk to, he listened and he worked directly with my son. Yes, as a parent he valued my input, and I, too, felt listened to. But we’ve been in a lot of doctor’s office where the child is there — but is not there. I liked that my child was central to the team that was working to help him get the services he needs.

We loved Center for Developing Minds. My son was a patient for over 10 years and would be still if we lived in CA. Dr. Korb is wonderful, knowledgeable and resourceful. I highly recommend this office to anyone searching for answers to why their child is having challenges.

We went to the Center for Developing Minds for a private evaluation and found it was thorough and informative. Dr. Korb administered Behavioral and Developmental assessments in our first appointment. While he had a specific appointment block we felt that he answered questions thoroughly, clarified anything confusing, and treated our family with respect and caring while not speaking about our son as a set of symptoms but rather, a boy.
Dr. Korb gave us specific instructions and guidance to improve the diagnosed deficits before we left the office so we could begin immediately. We received the full typed evaluation results within 10 days. While discussing the initial diagnosis he gave us options for treatment routes, listened to our concerns, and we have worked as a team to alter treatment plans ever since.
Dr. Korb is flexible with scheduling and when there is an urgent issue he’s been available for a phone call or a Skype appointment.
​Dr. Korb has a good staff in the office. He recommended Jana Parker to administer testing for private school entrance and she was thorough, professional, and made my son feel at ease during the process.
I would recommend the Center for Developing Minds for a warm, caring, and professional environment.

yes it is pricey and no they don’t accept insurance. but I have to say that it was well worth every cent! CFDM was a life saver for our family. Often times providing therapy for me as much as treatment for our son. years of frustration understood! I will always be grateful and highly recommend CFDM.

Dr Korb has been very helpful and supportive with my son who’s going through an anxiety disorder and inattentive ADD. When we contacted him for a problem that needed immediate help and his schedule was full, he was great about setting up a phone conference within 24 hours with my husband and I to resolve the problem. We were able to get after school appointments so our son didn’t have to miss school.

Its interesting that most of the positive reviews are filtered for no apparent reason. Note medical practices bill for scheduled time. This is typical for practices that accept or do not accept insurance. Our son has been going to this clinic for 8 years and has made remarkable progress. Its takes time for change.

We had Janel from Center for Developing Minds do an evaluation for my daughter. She came to my daughter’s school and observed her there, and then wrote a very detailed report identifying her developmental issues and suggested treatment. Overall very satisfied with their services.

I went to the Center for Developing Minds to get help with my daughter a few years back and again 2 months ago for my son. We had psycho-​educational evaluations done for both kids with Kim Noll.
She was great with the kids and made them feel comfortable right away. She listened to both myself and my husband. Really listened. Something we really appreciated. She helped us enormously with both kids, zoning in on their individual needs. I would recommend Kim to anyone who is struggling for answers with their child.

They were not flexible with appointment times or locations nor were they helpful with payment plans.
There are several other excellent doctors and centers that all do this type of work. I would highly recommend using another one.

The staff did not evaluate my son sufficiently in the beginning to provide a team approach to help his family develop a program to assist with his learning disabilities. They were not open to exploring all possibilities since my child was an older teenager. They seemed more interested in making money than being a resource. They are not a center for developing minds just money.

Helpful and good with children. But rape you on the billing.
Seriously, ½hr to review a 2 line letter? $ 200 to review their own report/​
They are in an affluent community, and are used to people paying without reviewing bills. Unethical? maybe. Just watch your wallet

Cassandra Harms has a great rapport with kids and teens.
