Guest guest Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Has anyone heard of this clinic? I have a friend who is taking her son there for a brain scan for $3400. Not sure what they do, but would be interested in hearing about it. http://amenclinics.com/ac/waystohelp.php?refWays=asd Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 We have not been, but his clinic was mentioned to me by a psychiatrist. I get his newsletters and am reading his books. Very interesting. If possible, I would like to know how you friend fairs there and if they felt it was worth the money?? His website has a great deal of info. > > Has anyone heard of this clinic?

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 , Sounds interesting, will read more into this. Never heard of any of the clinic or the doctor but I like how the MRI can scan the brain area in an individual where the culprit triggering whatever is going on. Understanding the circuits of the brain. $3400, hmm, versus $9,000.+ out in NY for something similar with the brain image, only here this is a different type of treatment. My son is non-verbal so was intrigue with this doctor's information. I have heard of this doc with the research of a Functional MRI with Harry Schneider, MD The Discovery of Language-Specific Areas in the Brain of Non-Verbal Children with Autism and Practical Application to Treatment: An Emerging Theory Powerpoint 41mb http://www.autismone.org/download2008.cfm http://www.harrydschneidermd.com/html/autism.html Interesting.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 I looked into this clinic several years ago and read one of Dr. Amen's books. It is very interesting. We haven't done the scan but are keeping it in mind as a possibility in the future. I understand that the Environmental Healthcare Center in Dallas now does the scan and treatment using Dr. Amen's approach but do not know how much training they have.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 There is a clinic in Houston off Fannin that does SPECT scans and is covered by Medicaid (at least it was when we went there several years ago). The doctor there is Dr. Routh who has written a book with Dr. Amen - Healing Anxiety and Depression.
