I took my 2 and a 12 year old and 3 month old. There at the same time for cardiology. My 2 and a 12 year old is not a big fan of doctors but the doctors here were so amazing. Made her feel comfortable took their time when she wasnt feeling Comfortable doing the testing instead of forcing her. Included her and had her help with her baby brother when his testing was getting done they were so amazing by far the best doctors appointment I have ever been to with my children. wish I could go there for their pediatric appointments very clean environment as well as fast I waited no more than 10 mins after checking in.

We do a lot of doc appointments and my daughter has never hyperventilated and cried like she did here for the eye doc. Its like they arent used to working with younger kids. They laughed off her crying and I asked to talk to the doctor about the process and she never came in. We never saw the Dr at all and left very unhappy and frustrated. I feel like its a parents job to get the kid into the appointment without anxiety and freaking out as much as possible with a 5yo and then I need their help to play with her and treat her well to get the job done. They failed on that.We took her out of school and drive 45 mins for this..

Yall ever have the day where everything goes wrong That was me today. My son is teething and to call him fussy is an understatement. Imagine my mortification when I show up to our first visit to get his clogged tear duct checked out and he full-on wails the entire time. Yet not a single staff member gave me side eye. In fact Mary was so patient and kind during the exam Dr. Ozturk was sweet and sympathetic and even the other workers opened the door for me and tried to cheer my baby up. The absolute professionalism promptness and informativeness was matched by the utter gentleness and empathy the entire office bestowed on us. Definitely worth the drive. I felt so seen and supported instead of judged rushed annoyed etc. Very highly recommend

I had to take my 5 year old for the chest x-ray to this location. Pediatrician said the chest x-ray looked fine but shes been running a fever for 5 days by then so I took her to a different place to get checked the next day. Another chest x-ray showed she had a pneumonia Luckily the right treatment had been prescribed and she got better. I received a survey request about my visit to Nemours which I completed letting them know what happened but nobody reached out to me about that. Yet they are quick enough to send you the bill. My daughter could have ended up in the hospital or worse You expect me to pay for the x-ray that didnt show anything while she had pneumonia

Please please please do not waste your time if you are apprehensive about vaccinations. Rhonda Elton will NOT HEAR your side of why it makes you nervous she will automatically discharge you and place the blame on you for being rude. I read the reviews previous to this I spoke to 3 different conversations of program directors saying that its not Nemours Policy to discharge unvaccinated children. So I was mentally prepared to have a mature conversation about this subject because I really wanted help and to be more informed.My son was shy of 6 vaccinations to be caught up. I wanted more information and she automatically forced me out to another location. I did speak with her she says she didnt feel like my son was a good fit without hearing me out completely. I was not rude. I was honest and she didnt like that. I am now forced to travel 2xs longer to be seen with my other fully vaccinated son. SMH Nemours I did respect you until now.

Nice staffnursesdr but was really disappointed with the cost of service especially having to pay before seeing the doctor not knowing what service my child was going to receive when I left there knowing what I already know and not giving me anymore information other than booking a check up appointment. I asked if there would be more fees for the check up and they couldnt give me an answer.So in all its just getting caught in the system. How is being in-network even possible Its Crazy Lesson learned. Im wanting help to prevent my child from having future surgery and to walk out with no more than I know Im really upset with the cost for this service.Im posting just to warn those looking for prevention help. Im at a lost looking for better answers and those who actually care in helping people.Wishing all the best to those searching as well.

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.
When you visit a neurologist, they’ll assess your child’s needs, run some tests (think imaging or EEG), and diagnose. From there, they’ll create a customized treatment plan. Medication, lifestyle tweaks, or maybe even a referral to another specialist could be on the table.
There unfortunately isn’t one test for all neurodevelopmental conditions. Most likely you will go into a visit to test one or two medical conditions. If you are looking for a comprehensive autism evaluation, developmental pediatricians, psychologists, or neuropsychologists are the preferred specialists who can diagnose autism.
No, neurologists focus mainly on non-surgical interventions. If your child needs surgery, neurologists might point you in the direction of a pediatric neurosurgeon.
Yes, picky and selective eating is actually a quite common concern for children with autism. If you rolled your eyes looking at the steps above because your child with autism has never had a full day's serving of vegetables in their life, you are definitely not alone. As if getting kids to eat their veggies isn’t challenging enough, research shows children with autism have significantly more eating challenges than their peers who are not autistic.
In addition to sensory difficulties that can lead to a lot of anxiety with food, autistic children are 4x more likely to have gastrointestinal issues such as stomach pain and discomfort. This creates the perfect storm for extra extra picky eaters - and a lot of added obstacles and concerns for parents.
The difficulties associated with autistic children and food can cause a wide range of concerns from children being underweight to overweight (overweight children can still be at risk for nutritional deficiencies!). This can lead to slower than normal growth and nutritional deficiencies like low vitamin D and calcium levels. Even when given multivitamins, many children with autism are still found to have some of these nutritional deficiencies.
Here are some tips:
Keep to a schedule - setting schedules for meal and snack time can help picky eaters build up their appetite throughout the day
Minimize distractions - removing distractions like screens and toys can help your child be more engaged at mealtime
Approach new foods together - Make new foods less scary by trying them together. Touching and smelling the food together before tasting it
Support choice & control - Allowing your child to pick which foods they eat will help them feel more in control
It may not seem obvious, but eating is a complex behavior that involves perceptual, emotional, and cognitive processes. And we know that children with autism process things differently. While many of us look forward to things like our afternoon snack, it may be an activity that causes a lot of anxiety for your child.
Parents describe food selectivity being determined by a few of the following factors: texture (69%), appearance (58%), taste (45%), smell (36%), and temperature (22%). Uniform texture, bland and neutral color foods are reported to be overwhelmingly preferred by more than 90% of children with ASD.
Get involved with local organizations, support groups, and professionals specializing in those hard of hearing. They can offer guidance, resources, and opportunities for your kiddo’s development. The more you know, the better you can support your child.
Here are some suggestions to get you started:
Hands & Voices is a parent-driven, nonprofit organization that provides unbiased support, regarding communication methodology and technology, to families with deaf or hard of hearing children.
Gallaudet University — Laurent Clerc National Deaf Education Center is a federally funded institution offering exemplary academic programs to deaf/HoH students. They provide early intervention services, sign language classes, and uniquely designed resources for deaf/HoH communities.
Hearing Loss Association of America is a nonprofit organization with a mission to open the world of communication to people with hearing loss by providing information, education, support, and advocacy.
