What do our patients want to know

Early signs can include delayed speech, avoiding eye contact, repetitive behaviors, lack of response to their name, and difficulty with social interactions. Early evaluation is key.

While pediatricians handle general child health, a child neurologist specializes in diagnosing and treating disorders of the brain, spinal cord, and nervous system, including autism, epilepsy, and developmental delays.

Diagnosis involves comprehensive behavioral evaluations, developmental screenings, and neurological exams. We work closely with parents to observe the child's communication, behavior, and social development.

Treatment is highly individualized and may include behavioral therapy (like ABA), speech-language therapy, occupational therapy, and sometimes medication to manage specific symptoms.

Trust your instincts. If you notice developmental delays or have concerns about your child's behavior, communication, or motor skills at any age, it is best to schedule an evaluation as early intervention is crucial.

Yes, as a comprehensive child neurology practice, we also evaluate and treat ADHD, epilepsy, migraines, cerebral palsy, tics, and various other neurodevelopmental disorders.
