[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the future: Just a recommendation for a pediatrician - My child was having some rages that seemed out of character.  I was concerned that my child had PANS/PANDAS or some kind of neurological issue, so I found a pediatrician who was supportive and open - Dr. Gail Warner at Growth and Wellness was recommended and I like her and their office. It didn't get to that point and things have improved with my child but I do see kids with a variety of needs in the waiting room so it tells me that they would probably be good at managing care. 
Another recommendation would be Potomac Pediatrics. While I personally didn't love their office (and they have an annual fee), they are super organized and have many wrap around services and also take things like what you are talking about seriously. [/quote]

OP here. I have a neighbor who has her kids at Potomac pediatrics and she is happy with the practice. I will reach out there as well. [/quote]

I disagree about Potomac Pediatrics.  Yes, the pediatrician was able to see my DC right away--but we had to push.  I finally said if DC had a fever you'd make this a sick visit, why is this behavior any different.  DC was started on meds right away.

The issue was their behavioral health. The psychiatrist was very dismissive, did not take things seriously, and was extremely and inappropriately over-privileged. Totally misdiagnosed DC.  We are with Chesapeake Center now for DC's psychiatric care.  Much much better. [/quote]
