Requesting Dr. Sulahya Mastan Child Psychologist at Kaiser Input for Tween Girl, suspected ASD

[RisingMiddleSchoolMama]

Has anyone seen Dr. Mastan, a Kaiser child psychologist? I was told she was the best they have if your older child has autism. But I don't see deep expertise. I am also concerned she/Kaiser will take us down a mental health/psychiatry road. Kaiser continues to deny us a full ASD evaluation and have stuck 2 mental health dx on my 12 year old based on 4 tests. I am not seeing that they will be able to help my daughter at all. We started this process in Oct. and I have received no services, just two denials for a full evaluation and a referral to psychology and psychiatry.

Appreciate input on anyone's experience at Kaiser and whether it is worth it to see Dr. Mastan. I am beyond frustated/exasperated with Kaiser. Thank you.
