Guest guest Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 We also live near Emory, and we use Dr. Wesley , who is near Northlake. They have done a great job with my Aspie. I have also heard great things about Dr. Ted Levitas (I think he accepts Medicaid and Beckett?) and Dr. Healy for special needs children. Regarding a neuropsychiatrist, have you checked with the Marcus Autism Center? That's the first place near Emory that comes to mind. I know they offer ABA, and I think they accept Beckett. > > Hi all. I need 2 referrals. First, I need a pediatric dentist for my > 3 year old autistic son. We're in Alanta, near Emory.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 It only took me 3 weeks. I had about 50 pages of supporting documentation. Everything was organized, highlighted, color coded, etc. They would have been hard-pressed to deny us.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 The Ped.Dentist that we use for our 3 1/2 yr. old twins, one with ASD, is Dr. Janice Lee across from Children's Healthcare at ish Rite in Atlanta. Peachtree Dunwood Rd. I think the world of her and her whole staff. They work with whatever circumstances your family may be dealing with at the time. She has also done oral surgery at the hospital on one of our sons. Wonderful dentist, surgeon and person! She is also a mother of a 3 year old son.
