Beaming Review
The doctors are great. However, MELISSA GARCIA had “scheduled” my child’s appointments via phone, but didn’t put today’s visit in, resulting in me calling the facility for an hour to be either not answered at all, or put on hold for extensive amount of time. When I finally reached someone, she abruptly interrupted me several times, often raising her voice. I had to repeat myself several times, to which she replied telling me “you need to stop being rude”. When I am repeating myself because you kept interrupting me and not listening to what I was telling you, that isn’t me being rude. When I requested that the appointment we were supposed to have 30 minutes prior to be rescheduled to consolidate with his other appointment in early August, she denied the request multiple times and insisted “umm NO, we will see you in 15 minutes”. Mind you it’s my son’s birthday today, a time we are trying to celebrate, and I’m met with rudeness, insults, professionalism, and hostility from this person. When I asked her name, she snapped raising her voice “MELISSA GARCIA. And you can go ahead and contact my manager, she already knows what’s going on so you can go ahead”. This isn’t the first incident we have had with appointments not being input correctly. It’s certainly the first time anyone at this location has acted so intense, rude, insulting, hostile, and professional. We’ve been going here for the last 6 years with our 3 children. Melissa Garcia need to be reprimanded for her unacceptable actions. No one in their right mind would allow her to work in an environment that requires her to interact with children and their families.

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.
