What is the first step? And doctors in Bay Area.

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Our 5-year old son shows all the symptoms of OCD. What is the first step for us

now for a

diagnosis and treatment? Go to his pediatrician and get a referral or directly

try to get an

appointment from a therapist?

While we are at this topic, can you recommend doctors in Bay Area, possibly

around Palo Alto

or San ? We need someone who is good with small children, and I realize

there are not

many of them.

Thanks a lot.
