[quote=Anonymous]I have a toddler that was recently diagnosed with ASD. We have had her thoroughly evaluated by a neurologist and at the NIH. We are looking for a developmental pediatrician to follow her. So far we only could get an appointment with a doctor at Georgetown, but the doctor has terrible reviews. We are on the wait list for Kennedy Krieger but was told it might be a month or so before we can get an appointment, which would involve further evaluations. I'm wondering if people would suggest waiting until we can find a development ped with good reviews to follow her (even if it takes several months) since her diagnosis has been confirmed and she has started therapy recommended by the NIH and MCITP or if there is a reason just to get her to see any developmental pediatrician. Any advice would be helpful. Also, how often do you usually see a developmental pediatrician to measure progress, etc?[/quote]
