The Doctors Clinic, a part of Franciscan Medical Group(opens in a new tab), is a multi-specialty, physician-owned medical group with seven clinic locations throughout Kitsap County.
The clinic was established in 1945 when Dr. Charles L. Salmon, Dr. Frank Rosendale and Dr. Kenneth P. Jackson came together and renamed their new practice, The Doctors Clinic, reflecting a group of doctors whose mission was to provide compassionate, quality healthcare to the local community.

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.
