About Michael J. Reicherts, MD
As a pediatrician, my primary consideration is the health and well-being of my patients. I enjoy getting to know your child, not only as my patient, but also as a unique individual. I believe that listening to the concerns of you and your child is essential in my practice, and I am dedicated to their health and care.
I received my Bachelor's Degree in Biochemistry and Medical Degree from The University of Illinois.
I have been in practice for close to 20 years and enjoy working with children of all ages. I have a special interest in treating children with Asthma, Allergies, ADHD, Behavior and Sleep Issues, and those with Special Needs.

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.
