We saw di fazio years ago but am curious about others.

Issue is tics

Dxs include HFA ADHD Anxiety

Thank you

We see DiFazio and love him. Also for tics. But we haven’t been back in about 2 years because kids are stable and medication is being refilled by the psychiatrist. I was actually just thinking of making an appointment to check in. Is he no longer seeing patients? I saw he got some sort of promotion.

OP - He has some admin role now as well as seeing patients so he books 4 weeks out DH said.

The movement disorders at children's is run by Dr. Lavenstein and Dr. Laura Tochen. Lavenstein is old and it's a crapshoot whether you'd like him. Laura Tochen would likely be a better fit.

Difazio is great

Is there any treatment for tics that they offer other than Guaficine?

We have had success with clonidine. One of my kids takes regular clonidine 2x day and the other takes an extended release version called Kapvay.
