Have you tried Dr. at Kidslink?  She is in Twinsburg close to 480 and is incredible.  She is a neurologist but can perscribe.  Tons of exp with kids on the spectrum.

The person we were seeing through December of last year, left the Cleveland Clinic right in the middle of switching my sons' meds. Our developmental pediatrician can help us w/ meds, but she is just so busy! I need to find a psychiatrist, or similar, that will work very closely with us until we find the right medication. My oldest was fine in the beginning of the school year, but since he stopped his meds that were making him sick, he's spiraled downward to the point where they mentioned retention to give him one more year b4 middle school due to his immaturity, even though he is in gifted classes. I won't let this happen, so I need to get him to a doc ASAP! We have an appt w/ the dev.ped.next month, but I still need to find someone else, and maybe even someone sooner than the end of march!

Can anyone recommend someone like this that they have used? I would appreciate it greatly! Thank you!

Hello,

Dr. is great....we love her! However, if you would like to see someone who takes health insurance there is a list of medical professionals on Milestone's website: http://www.milestones.org/medical.htm

I know that these doctors are not randomly placed on the website and have been recommended for a good reason (i.e. understand autism, specialize in autism, were recommended by a parent, etc.) You can always call Milestones if you would like to know more about the doctors listed, (216) 464-7600. Or ask for feedback here again about a specific doctor.

Hope this helps,
