Beaming Review
Before arriving for our appointment with Dr.Moran we were nervous and excited to get clarity on what was going on with our 4 year old. We had been on the waiting list since June of 2022 we were referred by our primary pediatric doctors office. Upon entering everything was pleasant from the front desk staff we sat down to complete some paperwork then was called back up about our co-pay. It was a large amount that we were expecting to pay after the appointment was completed and the diagnosis was given but they insisted on us paying it before the appointment. Once we were pulled to the back vitals were done by the nurse in a separate room before she moved us to our actually room where we continued to work on additional chart paperwork before he entered. Dr.Moran briefly entered making kissingsmooching sounds at our son to get his attention which didnt sit well with my husband and I but we had already paid to receive the diagnosis and services. After the sounds with his lips and mouth he mentioned to us to complete the charts throughly and then left the room so we could continue filling out the charts. A few minutes later he entered for our appointment. Everything was educational information that we were needing except for some unnecessary remarks. He noticed our sons energy level and mentioned to us Wow He has alot of energy Im surprised you guys dont drink every night. That comment was unexpected and not nice at all. My frame of mind was we need to get the information we need today to know what is going on with our son. We mentioned that we had heard multiple things that he could have Autism Spectrum Disorder Sensory Perceptive Disorder ADHD etc and wanted to know what it was specifically but the answer we received was You guys will need to label him as Autism in order to receive services. We again were taken back by the answer since he was the Clinical Doctor to diagnose him. Next we moved from that subject and talked on other things about our son and mentioned us having an older child our daughter. He said to us If you have another child how did you not see something wrong with him we answered with every child they develop differently and it takes time. Right after that we got on the subject of genetic testing and how our daughter may carry this gene. He mentioned to us Do you guys want more kids Im sure you dont now your probably on birth control. Here we go again another comment that didnt sit well with us. Unfortunately we left we no answers as to what is going on with our child and a large sum of money thrown out the window. Needless to say we will not be returning for anymore care and are forced to try to find another doctor who will see him and may be looking at almost a year or longer wait before he is seen diagnosed treated and given proper care services.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your pediatrician might be able to administer screenings, but most general doctors are not trained to formally diagnose autism. They might refer you to a qualified diagnostic clinician which include:
Developmental Pediatricians
Child Psychologists
Child Psychiatrists
Pediatric Neurologists
Pediatric Neuropsychologists
Your experience might look different depending on the type of clinician you choose. Many families prefer working with developmental pediatricians. Others might work with a psychiatrist or another specialist to get a different perspective.
A formal ASD diagnosis, or a medical diagnosis, helps you get the support your family needs, especially within the context of accessing medically necessary therapies and services.
Insurance Coverage for Therapies: Medically necessary therapies for ASD are often covered by insurance including, but not limited to, speech therapy, ABA therapy, and occupational therapy.
Financial Support: A diagnosis is required when applying for social security or disability benefits.
Plan for Care: A diagnosis helps identify your child’s support needs. For example, your child might need to develop social communication and self-regulation skills.
Future Research: The more data we gather through evaluations, the more we can improve services for autistic children and adults.
The main role of developmental-behavioral pediatricians is to evaluate kids who aren’t developing, learning or behaving the way their peers are. You might be referred to one after an evaluation through school or from your state-run early intervention program.
These specialists can help you understand certain behaviors you’re seeing and come up with a diagnosis. For example, if your child acts up at school and in other settings, you or the teacher may suspect your child has ADHD. But there are other issues that may look like, such as anxiety. And many kids will have more than one issue.
