Pediatric Neurology's Online Review Report Card

My son has Tourette's and we came here for years. The doctor is very knowledgeable. We recently moved out of state which is the only reason we no longer come here. It can be busy, but it's worth the wait and no different than any other neurology specialist.

We saw this doctor for six months and no testing was ever done. He said our son had mild autism as part of his diagnosis, but seemed to be actively against doing an evaluation. He even wrote a doctors note that stated my son has autism and would benefit from ABA therapy so that, in his mind, we could start ABA without an evaluation. We were naïve, but of course, a child cannot start ABA without a complete autism evaluation. The therapy centers won't accept a note and neither will insurance. At an appointment a month later, he told us that our sons autism "was getting better." When I told him we were getting an evaluation done with Beaumont (thankfully we had our son put on a waiting list before we saw this doctor), his first question was how are we going to pay for it? Our first appt was about a half hour and all the others were about 10-15 minutes. How did he diagnose our son with these short visits? We always had to wait a long time for the doc. One time we waited 45 minutes. Our last appt over the phone was 6 MINUTES. At the end of the 6 minute call, he told our son "I love you" which we did not think was appropriate to tell a 4 year old child that he barely knows. We are seeing another neurologist now and she made an appt to get our son an MRI during the first appt.. We hope to be on the right track for our son now.

Wow called for appointment I guess I was accidentally referred to this clinic for my son. Nasty attitude about not accepting my insurance. So glad I was able to schedule at children hospital DMC of Troy!! DMC is superior medical care. Top in Michigan. Go DMC!!!!

He is wonderful. He does spend time talking to my daughter about life style changes to help her grow and get better, and to help lower the possibility of her having another seizure. Sometimes the wait can be bad, but it really does depend on the time of day. The later in the day the longer the wait.

Very disrespectful and unprofessional I went here to have my son evaluated for autism I brung his current diagnosis and the doctor threw them on the table didn’t even look at them. Then when I told him I was autistic he told me “well you should have a masters degree the way you talk”. Then the doctor proceeded to tell me that I didn’t have autism he also didn’t do my sons evaluation he told me “well what do you want me to do he looks normal”. I will be complaining to my insurance and to the state.

Be prepared for a long wait sometimes but this is a special doctor. He asks a lot of questions and really sees the big picture of what is going on with your child mentally as well as physically. My child's issues are a puzzle and after one visit I feel I am finally getting somewhere.

We do wait in the waiting room for a while but he is a great doctor. My young kids respond to him and he has gotten my kids ADHD and autism under control. He is absolutely wonderful. Highly recommend. We drive an hour each way several times a month to see him. And at least his waiting room is big and clean with a TV :) also the pharmacy down the hall sells snacks and drinks for real cheap to keep thelids occupied.

Great doctor and office staff is always polite and professional.

Long wait time

New patient arrived early before appt got back in the room took everyone else before me
