no neuro drs | ADHD Information

 started my daughter at a neuro - waste of time - finally found a adhd clinic at a major taching hospital - what a Blessing!!!! they understand what we are going through and are so helpful with medication issues, behavioral therapy, even helping so much with pre-school issues. The down side is that it takes me almost 2 hours each way once a month for the meds - sooooo worth the trip though!!  quite expensive though..... also, worth it...... good luck!I live in virginia and also can not find a neuro doctor that accepts medicaid :(i have tried to get my son into a neuro dr for a couple of weeks now to no avil,no drs here will accept medicaid, i did call the childrens hospital 4 hours away but they have a adhd clinic there and she said they will give my son a 2-3 hour appt and give a dx and a treatment plan ,they are booked until oct or nov but hey i've waited for 6 years now whats another couple of months. please watch parents where some drs refer your kids because my son's ped. said to take him to a behavior center, i took him last week, oh my god this place was a reg mental institution with locking doors and guards ,my son was scared to be there.

OMG!!! That's awful!! I would be scared to be there!!! I recently reached the end of my road as far as help goes for my son in my city... it is very frustrating!!!!!

Your a GOOD mom for keeping on the heals of all the professionals, don't give up!!!

My boys also have tbi and luckily are brain injury services is willing to help us out a little fin, only down side is the doctors place is near dulles va. But hey atleast its a shot ya know
